I saw this study presented at both ASCO and SABCS. At ASCO, I was with Kim from CT (Mamacze) and we both asked a question. Kim asked how (on earth) you could follow a diet so low in fat like this one. The answer is that you have to be a vegan. Fat can only come from vegetable or nuts (and oils). I asked if they were seeing results from a better balancing of omega 3s and 6s but the investigator said that is pausible but not probable and DID say that it should be studied.


The investigator said that the results were surprising as one would assume that it would help hormone positives more. Their findings (with hormone negative or having at least one receptor negative) only creates guesses. The guesses mentioned are other receptors come into play with hormone negatives such as IGFR and other downstream insulin reactions as well as that weight loss from this diet can help regulate insulin resistance. Besides a new study to study balancing fatty acids, they would like to study doing this diet with exercise (of which we ALSO know from that study that it also more greatly benefits hormone negative women) and see if there are syngeristic effects.
