Subcutaneous fat
is located directly beneath the skin and is visible
from outside the body. Subcutaneous fat is not as dangerous
to health as visceral fat which surrounds the organs.
High levels of fat, especially those associated with
obesity, may contribute to the onset of prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer and prostate cell growth is fueled by
the male sex hormone testosterone. Testosterone production
increases as the level of body fat increases.
