The aim of the study was to determine whether intakes of fat are associated with breast cancer. A total of 88,795 women free of cancer in 1980 were followed up for 14 years.
The study found:
(a) Women with a higher fat intake had a 15% decreased incidence of breast cancer compared with women with a lower intake.
(b) For every 5% increase in fat consumption there was a 3% reduction in breast cancer incidence.
(c) For every 5% increase in saturated fat consumption there was a 6% reduction in breast cancer incidence.
This study shows how an increase in fat consumption decreases the risk of breast cancer.
