Becky, was it statistically significant for ER+/PR+
I know that last time the results were updated the results for ER+/PR+ did not reach statistical significance, even though the low-fat diet appeared somewhat beneficial at first glance. The articles are very murky on the issue of significance.
Of course, a low fat diet can be good for the heart, too, (although not as good as the Mediterranean diet if recent controlled trials are believed). It would be interesting to see what the results are like for the Mediterranean, where omega-6 oils aren't so dominant.
Perhaps the data from some of the controlled studies on diet and heart attack risk that are underway will provide some more clues about low-fat and mediterranean diets and breast cancer risk.
Maybe a diet that uses relatively small amounts of the 'good oils' would be the best strategy in the absence of anything clearer?
