NEW YORK: According to the latest study, presented here on April 16, at the ongoing American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting, low-fat diet can help women combat breast cancer, drastically reducing the fatality rate associated with the tumor.
The study further says that women who consume low-fat food items have 82 percent survival rates than those who had not pursued the dietary pattern.
Rowan Chlebowski from the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute said: “This was the first time we had examined the deaths after breast cancer among this group. And we found that a sustained low-fat diet increased the survival rates among postmenopausal women after a breast cancer diagnosis.”
Additionally, researchers also conducted an unsystematic experimental test to verify the effects of a low-fat dietary on breast cancer, on 48,835 postmenopausal women, aged between 50 to 79.
