Study Data Show Significant Link Between High-Fat/Sat-Fat Diet And Breast Cancer

April 16, 2014: 12:00 AM EST
A study by Italian researchers has found an association between a high-fat – including saturated fat –  diet and two types of breast cancer as well as human epidermal growth factor disease. Researchers analyzed data from epidemiological and case-control studies involving nearly 350,000 women. High total and saturated fat intake were associated with greater risk of estrogen receptor- and progesterone receptor-positive (ER+PR+) breast cancer (BC), and human epidermal growth factor 2 receptor-negative (HER2-) disease.
