Again found whilst looking for something else!

They used 10 grams of fish oil a day which produced profound changes in plasma fatty acids. It also produced significant changes in fats in breast tissue.

Here is the link to the full article which is interesting. It looks at the idea the omega six three imbalance in the west is a significant fact in higher rates of BC.

Based on this article with supplementation and appropriate diet you can make a significant change to the fat profile of breast tissue in three months.

"Twenty- five women with high-risk localized breast cancer were enrolled in a dietary intervention program that required them to eat a low-fat diet and take a daily fish oil supplement throughout a 3-month period. Breast and gluteal fat biopsy specimens were obtained from each woman before and after dietary intervention."

"CONCLUSION: Short-term dietary intervention can lead to statistically significant increases in omega-3/omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratios in plasma and breast adipose tissue. Breast adipose tissue changed more rapidly than gluteal adipose tissue in response to the dietary modification tested in this study. Therefore, gluteal adipose tissue may not be a useful surrogate to study the effect of diet on breast adipose tissue. "
