HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - A meta-analysis of diet, physical activity and bc risk: An evolutionary perspective

Thanks for the clarification, I think both Lisa and I were just very interested in the subject that you had presented and wanted to have more information.

Incidentally, I re-read the full-text article I posted and found there were more recent studies (those which had cited the 2005 article) listed at the end of the link. And some of them are full-text!

The summary of the 2005 article http://www.ajcn.org/content/81/2/341.full states:

"a. Higher levels of exercise could decrease breast cancer risk
b. Higher consumption of dietary fat may increase breast cancer risk
c. Reproductive status may influence breast cancer risk in women

These results have important implications for future breast cancer research. Interactions between modern cultural factors and ancestral biology may be expressed as higher rates of breast cancers in modern, industrialized nations. Clinical studies do not cumulatively examine population variations in socio-economic, cultural and biological risk factors and breast cancer occurrence. Applying an anthropological and biocultural perspective to future research could identify evolutionary roots to causes and risk factors of female reproductive diseases."

There were also articles about the Omega 3 and Omega 6 ratio (R.B. has been educating us on the subject) and the PH value that Elaine and others have been discussing.

I do want to point out a quick observation: The life expectancy has been steadily improving since the turn of the (20th) Century. People like me used not to live very long after a premature birth, would probably die young of childhood diseases, would definitely die from a huge brain tumor by 35 or 40 (after long torturing of the explosive headaches...

The 'female reproductive diseases' would not have had a chance to appear... (one less breast cancer case.)

Really ought to bake another spice (fruit) cake for my oncologist who's been bugging me about getting in more exercise...
