RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIPID CONSUMPTION LEVEL AND THE INCIDENCE OF BREAST CANCER
Eman Mohy Afifi Badr;
Abstract
Each year approximately one million women are newly diagnosed with Breast Cancer (BC), in Germany 65 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants are registered, yearly. In Egypt, another
100,000 subjects are registered also, of whom, 6o/o are in the pediatric age, in addition to 150,000 patients from the year before as reported by the headmaster of tumor's institute, (october2004).
The fact that incidence has been rising in parallel with economic development indicates that environmental factors might play an important role in the causation of BC. Migrational data have pointed to nutrition as one of the more relevant external factors involved. Preventive dietary advice often includes a reduction of alcohol, red meat and animal fat and increasing the intake of vegetables, fruits, and fiber, and lately, photo-estrogens from various sources. Clearly, the scientific basis for these recommendations appears sparse. The available prospective data from epidemiological studies and interventional trials do not support the overall hypothesis that higher fat intakes are a relevant risk factor for BC development; more importance seems the relative distribution of various fatty acids.
