Fatty Link to Brain Cancer

A large study of middle-age women shows that eating a high fat diet raise the risk of developing invasive breast cancer.
The findings in the Journal of National Cancer Institute, stem from a study in which 188,736 postmenopausal women reported detailed information in their diet in the mid-1990s.  During an average follow-up of 4.4 years, 3,501 women developed breast cancer.
Based on responses to a 124-item food frequency questionnaire, researchers found that women who got 40 percent of their calories from fat had about a 15 percent increased risk of developing breast cancer.
But the increased risk seemed to be confined to women who were not using hormone replacement therapy at the start of the study.
