Frequent, regular consumption has strongest effect and is
linked to more aggressive disease
Regular consumption of deep-fried foods such as French
fries, fried chicken and doughnuts is associated with an increased risk of
prostate cancer, and the effect appears to be slightly stronger with regard to
more aggressive forms of the disease, according to a study by investigators at
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
