Hi everyone,
I found this article at powerhealth.net and thought it may be of
interest to all of you.  The article is too long to send as a post, so
the link is at the end of the paragraphs.
The Skinny on Fats & Breast Cancer

by Stephen Byrnes, PhD, RNCP

Originally published in Positive Health (UK), May 2001; WellBeing
(Australia), September 2001.

In today’s nutritional world, fat has become a dirty word. Women in
particular are encouraged to eat a low-fat diet to help prevent breast
cancer, as well as other ailments, including other cancers. Animal fats
such as butter have taken a terrible beating in the media over the past
few decades and have been blamed for horrific crimes, including obesity,
heart disease and cancer. Accordingly, Western peoples have been
virtually brainwashed into thinking that butter and other predominantly
saturated fats like coconut oil and tallow are unhealthy. So-called safe
substitutes like margarine and various vegetable oils have been heavily
promoted and advertised with the result being that the public associates
these things with health and well-being.

Unfortunately for us, all of these contentions and claims are false.
When it comes to breast cancer prevention, and in some cases treatment,
the so-called ‘bad fats’ are actually the good guys, and the ‘safe
substitutes’ are increasingly being shown up for what they really are:
fabricated foods that cause disease, including breast cancer.
