From fast-food to ultra-processed snacks, a high-fat diet eaten over the long term may trigger biological changes in the liver that could raise the risk of cancer. 

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggested it may be less about how much fatty food is consumed at once — and more about how long the liver is exposed to a high-fat diet.

Over time, a high-fat diet may put liver cells into a kind of survival mode that researchers believe could make them more vulnerable to cancer-related changes...
