Due to the fact that there has not been any scientifically proven treatment that specific to the various forms of cancer, the controversies as to what cause this cancers are exponentially high. One of this is the concept of trans-fat containing foods are causing cancer. Trans-fat foods up to date are believed by many that is a causing cancer instead of a risk to cardiovascular diseases.

Cancer itself is thoroughly explained and types of cancers in relations to the sources of foods that are claimed high risk. The chemistry of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids was also dealt with and foods that are proven to be rather protective to causing cancer are also highlighted.
