Low-fat diet won't lessen risk of breast cancer
NEW YORK: Adopting a fowfak diet at midlife or later probably won't reduce a woman s risk of breast cancer, a US study suggests, reports AP.
Pooling and analysing the results of seven previous studies Involving a total of 337.819 women, mostly middle-aged or older, scientists found that the amount of fat in the participants’ diets had no effect on their risk of breast cancer

Indeed, other studies suggest that a low-fat diet has to be adopted in childhood or adolescence to influence the decades-long processes that lead to cancer
There are other, very good reasons to stick to a diet which Is relatively low in red meat, and low in high-fat dairy products, and high in fruits and vegetables," said Dr David Hunter, citing evidence of reduced risk for heart disease and colorectal cancer
"Unfortunately., It doesn't appear that breast cancer protection, at least in midlife, is one of those good reasons.”
Hunter is executive director of the Harvard Centre for Cancer Prevention at the Harvard School of Public Health. He and other scientists reported the work in Thursday's Issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The idea that lowering fat intake during middle age could help protect against breast cancer had appeared to be promising, but its shows "less promise all the time, said Robert Smith, an epidemiologist and senior director for detection and treatment at the American Cancer Soci-
