Here's the key part of the article for me:

Quote:
High-sugar diets also cause obesity. Are the prostate tumors in men who became fat by eating high-sugar diets equally susceptible to metastasis? If they are, what is the mechanism?

“You cannot just say, ‘Don’t eat fat,’” Dr. Pandolfi said.

Mice having eaten a high-fat western diet doesn't explain much in terms of what could be a triggering ingredient. High-fat western diet likely has sugar as well. This is why we can't jump to conclusions, as 1) it's mice, and 2) while the diet contained fat, it also contained other potentially harmful substances. Same story, though, when fat is present among other things, fat typically gets the blame.
