Low Fat Diet to Lower Breasr Cancer Risk

Lowering fat intake is said to produce significant low risk to breast cancer recurrences, especially in women who were treated for an early condition of breast cancer and also those who are in their postmenopausal stage.

A study that is sponsored by Women's Intervention Nutrition Study, showed the relative influence of dietary fat to women who were diagnosed of breast cancer. The said research lasted for five years and included more than 2,000 women at the age of 48 to 79. The subjects were then placed on a low fat diet, with an average of about 30 grams of fat in their daily meals. In addition, all subjects have a record of an early stage breast cancer and were also treated with the same treatments, which include lumpectomy radiation, post surgical treatments, and mastectomy. At the end of the study, subject women who were all in a low fat diet, showed a risk reduction in breast cancer recurrence. All women who were on the said low fat diet and were previously treated with nonestrogen-dependent cancer, had a more than 42 percent reduced recurrence risk compared to those who were following healthy diets.

Furthermore, researchers of the said study claim that the outcome of their study poses a significant observation in the field of breast cancer. The data that they have produced demonstrated a big importance in considering the daily dietary factors of cancer patients.
