[High fat diet and risk of breast cancer].
Eating habits, especially high-fat diets, is a topical subject that was also pointedly discussed by renowned authors at the international oncology convention in Hamburg this year. There is a continuing tendency for the incidence of breast cancer to be high in countries with high fat consumption. However, clinical comparative studies have not been able to definitely confirm any correlation between the two; probably because it is not possible to determine eating habits with a sufficient degree of reliability since these change during our lifetime. On the other hand, there is mounting evidence that overweight, rather than a high-fat diet as the result of consuming too many calories, presents the actual risk factor.
