The authors examined the relationship of dietary fat, to incidence of postmenopausal breast cancer in 80,375 women over a 20 year period.
The study revealed that:
(a) For every 5% increase in dietary fat, there is a 2% REDUCTION in breast cancer rates.
(b) Specific types of fat were not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.
Kim concludes that the results of the study suggest a reduction in breast cancer risk for women who consume high-fat diets
