Postmenopausal Women (Journal Abstract) Added on: 8/25/2003 Hits: 81
From Harvard University and the International Union Against Cancer
Information Services, 2000: A team of researchers from the Harvard
Department of Nutrition studied 381 postmenopausal women for 4 years. They
reviewed the association between the women's intake of dietary fat and
their levels of sex hormones, including estrogen. They found that there
was no association between dietary fat intake and elevated estrogen. In
fact, they found that the *less* dietary fat the women in the study ate,
the more likely they were to have elevated estrogen, quite to the surprise
of the researchers. They concluded that these results are "inconsistent
with the hypothesis that fat intake predisposes to breast cancer risk by
raising endogenous estrogen levels."
High Fat Diet Not Associated With Increased Estrogen in Postmenopausal
Women (Press Release) Added on: 8/25/2003 Hits: 62

of the researchers. They concluded that eating less fat to avoid or treat
breast cancer is "probably isn't a useful strategy."
Meat, Fish and Egg Intake and Risk of Breast Cancer (Journal
Abstract) Added on: 5/1/2003 Hits: 225
From Harvard University and the International Journal of Cancer, 2003: A
group of researchers studied 88,647 women from the Nurses Health Study for
18 years. They noted that they found no evidence that meat consumption was
a risk factor for breast cancer. In fact, they noted that vegetarians had
a slightly increased chance of breast cancer.
Meat Consumption May Not Impact Breast Cancer Risk: New Finding
Challenges Prevailing Theory That Women Who Eat Less Meat May Lower Their
Risk of Breast Cancer (Press Release) Added on: 5/1/2003 Hits: 116
From Harvard University and the Harvard Gazette, 2003: A group of
researchers studied 88,647 women from the Nurses Health Study for 18
years. They noted that they found no evidence that meat consumption was a
risk factor for breast cancer. In fact, they noted that vegetarians had a
slightly increased chance of breast cancer.
Dietary Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load, and Breast Cancer Risk: A
Case-Control Study (Journal Abstract) Added on: 9/19/2002 Hits: 372
From the journal the Annals of Oncology, November 2001: This study was
conducted by a research team from univerities in Canada, Italy, and
France. This research studied the effects of the type and amount of
carbohydrate on over 5,000 women to assess their risk of breast cancer.
The researchers found that high glycemic diets increased the risk of
breast cancer. They concluded that there is a direct connection between
glycemic load and breast cancer risk.
Meat and Diary Food Consumption and Breast Cancer: A Pooled Analysis of
Cohort Studies (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/31/2002 Hits: 285
From Harvard and the International Journal of Epidemiology, 2002: In this
study, a team of researchers reviewed data from 8 previous studies. They
found no significant association between intake of total meat, red meat,
white meat, or dairy products with breast cancer.
An Analysis of Insulin, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 , and Insulin-Like
Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 in Premenopausal Women With and Without
Breast Cancer (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 155
From Columbia University in New York and the American Society of Clinical
Oncology, 2001: These researchers compared a group of women with breast
cancer with a control group of women without breast cancer. They found
that the women with breast cancer had higher insulin levels.
Fasting Insulin Predicts Distant Disease Free Survival and Overall
Survival in Women with Operable Breast Cancer (Journal Abstract) Added on:
7/10/2002 Hits: 196
From The University of Toronto and the American Society of Clinical
Oncology (ASCO), 2000: These Canadian researchers found that fasting
insulin levels predict survival for women with breast cancer. High levels
of insulin put women at significantly higher risk of recurrence and death
from breast cancer despite standard therapy. The authors state that
insulin prompts breast cancer cells to grow. They also found that higher
fasting insulin levels was related to obesity.
Association of Dietary Intake of Fat and Fatty Acids With Risk of Breast
Cancer (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 147
From Harvard University and The Journal of The American Medical
Association, 1999: A Harvard team studied the risk factors associated with
breast cancer and concluded, "We found no evidence that lower intake of
total fat or specific major types of fat was associated with a decreased
risk of breast cancer".
Cohort Studies of Fat Intake and the Risk of Breast Cancer - A Pooled
Analysis (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 130
From Harvard University and The New England Journal of Medicine, 1996: A
team from Harvard Medical School reviewed several studies and state, "We
found no evidence of a positive association between total dietary fat
intake and the risk of breast cancer. There was no reduction in risk even
among women whose energy intake from fat was less than 20 percent of total
energy intake."

(Journal Abstract) Added on: 4/29/2003 Hits: 172
From Harvard University and the journal Archives of Internal Medicine,
2003: The researchers reviewed data from The Nurses Health Study for 12
years and found that women who ate the most sweets and desserts, refined
grains,and processed meats had a higher risk for colon cancer.
Insulin, Insulin-Like Growth Factors and Colon Cancer: A Review of the
Evidence (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 246
From Harvard University and The Journal of Nutrition, 2001: This Harvard
researcher reviewed over 250 studies relating to insulin and insulin-like
growth factors and their affects on colon cancer growth. He concluded that
there is strong evidence that high carbohydrate intake and high insulin
production fosters colon cancer growth.

(Advisory Statement) Added on: 7/11/2002 Hits: 502
From The National Brain Tumor Foundation, 2002: This national foundation
instructs brain tumor survivors to avoid sugars and other high fiber, high
glycemic foods because of the scientific evidence that sugar accelerates
tumor growth. They also warn patients to avoid low fat diets because of
evidence that selected dietary fats are beneficial in slowing tumor growth
and decreasing siezure activity. (Adobe Acrobat Reader required) If you

There's more, but I tire of this.
For every study you can show me, I can show you another study saying
exactly the opposite. Studies are BS.
