Again, do none of you worry about getting cancer from hormone and chemical laden meat? Or do you buy organic?
If one is trim then I can see managing the concerns of potentially carcinogenic chemicals. For the overweight, it's self-indulgent micromanaging.
The strongest carcinogenic factor, over which we have any control, is excess bodyfat. NIH and CDC data is crystal clear on the point. As is the foremost hospital for cancer treatment in the states, MDAnderson. An excerpt from their publications: "The link between obesity and cancer risk is clear. Research shows that excess body fat increases your risk for several cancers, including colorectal, post-menopausal breast, uterine, esophageal, kidney and pancreatic cancers."
The underlying factors involve estrogen via aromatase and systemic inflammation, both affect cell division and reproduction -- cancer being aberrant cell reproduction.
Tend to excess bodyfat, drink lots of unadulterated water, and get plenty of sleep... then, with all major ducks in a row, micromanaging more tenuous risk factors can make sense for the very conscientious.
In terms of the subject line question: saturated fat. The Ancel Keyes inspired, long-refuted lipid theory of CVD has done more damage to health in the US than anything else. It spawned the excess carb and sugar consumption which has precipitated a more than 800% rise in type 2 diabetes (and the unheard of until recent years occurrence of what was formerly known as "adult onset diabetes" in children) and the obesity wave. And it particularly affects men as dietary cholesterol from saturated fat is a necessary precursor to healthy testosterone production.
Moreover statins, the most widely prescribed drug except for painkillers, have an adverse impact on T in men, as well as impairing the neurological health of both sexes (fat being the primary constituent of neural tissue) due to its effects on cholesterol (a point related to the general Keyes/lipid point though not directly tied to the point about dietary saturated fat).
edited because I typod CDV instead of CVD 🙄
