Does a low-fat diet help prevent breast cancer?
The article presents information on a study which investigated the effect of low-fat diet on preventing breast cancer. There is an increasing evidence that obesity plays a significant role in cancer development and promotion. Some studies that evaluate national average dietary fat intake and breast cancer incidence rates revealed an almost linear relationship between increased dietary fat and increased breast cancer incidence. Other studies showed that there are no evidence-based or specific recommendations for the primary prevention of postmenopausal breast cancer for women through dietary fat reduction.
