Low Fat Diet Helps Prevent Breast Cancer Recurrence
Lower Fat diets appear to help prevent the recurrence of breast cancer in both estrogen positive and estrogen negative breast cancers according to a recently-reported study. There's one question that begs to be answered, however. Is it really lower total fat, or was it because the inflammatory 0-6 fats were decreased? Lumping all fats together is misleading. Lower 0-6 fats and higher 0-3 fats are associated with less inflammation, cancer, and heart disease. Perhaps it is not lower total fat, but lower inflammatory 0-6 fat (making a better 0-6:0-3 ratio, that works the "magic."
While I'm glad to see studies like this, I wish the "whole truth" would be reported. A half-truth can be as bad as an outright lie if it misleads.
