ABSTRACT: Postmenopausal breast cancer is associated with high
intakes of omega-6 fatty acids (Sweden)
[01/14/2003; Cancer Causes and Control]
Objective: To estimate the postmenopausal breast cancer risk
associated with total fat intake, different types and relative
proportions of dietary fat using a nested, matched case-control
study within the Malmo Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort, Sweden.
Conclusions: Postmenopausal breast cancer was positively associated
with total, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fat. However, with
mutual adjustment for other types of fat, specifically high intakes
of omega-6 fatty acids were associated with an increased risk.

4) ABSTRACT: Increased risk of early-stage breast cancer related
to consumption of sweet foods among women less than age 45 in
the United States
[01/14/2003; Cancer Causes and Control]
Objectives: To evaluate the associations of dietary macronutrients,
food groups, and eating patterns with risk of breast cancer in a
population-based case-control study.
Conclusions: These data suggest a modest relationship between intakes
of sweet items with risk of in-situ and localized breast cancer in
young women. This relation is consistent with the hypothesized link
of high insulin exposure and risk of breast cancer. There was some
suggestion that women who ate many times during the day were at
reduced risk of disease, which is also consistent with an
insulin-related mechanism.
