Healthy diet cuts risk of dying from breast cancer
Large US study shows women on a low-fat diet had a 21% lower risk of death
A low-fat, fruit and vegetable-rich diet significantly lowers the risk of older women dying from breast cancer, according to long-term data from a US clinical trial.
Nearly 49,000 postmenopausal women aged 50-79 with no previous breast cancer and with dietary fat accounting for at least 32% of total daily calories were enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative Dietary Modification trial.
