Low-fat Diet After Menopause Seems To Reduce Risk Of Ovarian Cancer |
| WASHINGTON - Cutting dietary fat may also cut the risk of ovarian cancer, says a study of almost 40,000 older women that found the first hard evidence that menu changes protect against this particularly lethal cancer.

Use for five years can lower the cancer risk by up to 60 per cent, protection that lingers years after pill use ends. The new findings now offer an option for postmenopausal women to try as well. Those who followed a low-fat diet for eight years... |
