Rat fathers' diets may affect offspring's breast cancer risk

The dietary habits of rat fathers may affect their daughters' breast cancer risk, a study in 60 male rats and their offspring has found. The female offspring of male rats that had been fed a diet rich in animal fats had an increased risk of breast cancer, report the researchers. A diet that was rich in vegetable fats reduced the offspring's risk of breast cancer.
