Low-Fat Diets Disappoint for Cancer and Heart Disease - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today

Low-Fat Diets Disappoint for Cancer and Heart Disease - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today

Low-fat diets failed to reduce the risk of breast and colon cancer and also fell short for cardiovascular disease, according to a large controlled intervention trial.

Despite the long-held hope that a diet low in fat and high in fruits and grains could reduce the risk of these ailments, no benefit was found, according to results from the Women's Health Initiative Randomized Controlled Dietary Modification Trial.


That's funny. On the other hand unhealthy diets are definitely bad for some people, at least for me.
