This study assessed the relationship of dietary fat and carbohydrate with the risk of breast cancer. 2569 women with breast cancer (average age 55 years) and 2588 control women (maverage age 56 years) in hospital with other non cancerous diseases completed a validated food-frequency questionnaireThe study found:
(a) Women with the lowest intake of dietary fat had a 19% higher incidence of breast cancer than women with the highest intake of dietary fat.
(b) Women with the highest intake of carbohydrate had a 30% higher incidence of breast cancer than women with the lowest intake of carbohydrate.
