In many areas of the world where people eat a more plant-based, low- 
fat diet the average age obtained by men is only about 65 years.  The  
number one risk factor for prostate cancer is age.

Well in this study they went through the drudgery of a low 10% fat  
diet but then were given supplements that included more fat such as  
fish oil and vitamin E.
I'd rather eat a salmon dinner than eat rabbit food and take  
supplements.
