Diets high in fat, meat linked to increased non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Consuming foods high in animal protein, saturated fat, eggs and dairy leads to an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a cancer that attacks the lymphatic system, part of the body's immune system, Yale researchers have found. The study also showed that diets high in dietary fiber — tomatoes, broccoli, mixed lettuce salad with vegetables, cauliflower, etc.– were associated with a reduced risk of NHL.
