Breast Cancer And..

Several studies have recently come out linking diet with increased risk of cancer. The first is that breast cancer is more frequent in obese women who have a low HDL (the good cholesterol). This study was by Norway’s University of Tromso. HDL does not have an active role in development of breast cancer but may act as a signal to pay more attention to women with low HDL.

In another study co authored by Dr Walter Willett of Harvard School of Public Health and Instituto Nacionalde Salud Public of Mexico has shown an increase in breast cancer in women on a high carb diet. Women in Mexico were twice more likely to get breast cancer if they were on a high carbohydrate diets than those who ate less starch.

Dr Bob’s Take: it has been known for a long time that obesity carries a higher risk of breast cancer and each of these studies goes on to verify this, only in different ways. With rise in obesity in this country, I am especially concerned about our children and their increases in obesity, you could surmise that this could mean that breast cancer could be detected at younger ages as time goes on.
