Women watching weight show less chance of breast cancer recurrence in study
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
A study by Women’s Intervention Nutrition Study (WINS) showed a group of women who followed a low-fat diet after receiving early treatment for breast cancer reduced their risk for recurrence by 24 percent, MSNBC reports.
This important study tracked two groups of women aged 48 to 79 for five years who had received treatment for early breast cancers.
One group received nutrition counseling to learn how to reduce their fat consumption, while the other group was merely told about healthful eating without fat reduction.
The first group decreased the fat in their diets from about 29 percent of calories to about 20 percent, eating an average of close to 33 grams of fat a day.
The second group averaged about 51 grams daily.
An examination showed that some women in the first group who consistently met the fat targets set for this group chose lower-fat types of cheese, red meat, poultry, added fat (like salad dressing) and sweets.
