Here, we show that high-fat diets (HFDs) derived from lard, beef tallow or butter accelerate tumour growth in a syngeneic model of melanoma, but HFDs based on coconut oil, palm oil or olive oil do not, despite equivalent obesity.

Alright, all my food fried in corn and peanut oil from here on out.

Corn oil actually has a ton of omega-6 which can be pro-inflammatory in excess, olive oil is probably your best bet since it's got more monounsaturated fats and antioxidnts.
