Low-fat diets don't necessarily lead to less chance of disease

[Guest guest]

A great review stressing the calorie consumption and good/bad fat.

National Public Radio, Day to Day, February 8, 2006 . A new study published

in the most recent Journal of the American Medical Association suggests

healthier diets don't necessarily lead to less chance of disease. The study

followed more than 30,000 women restricted to low-fat diets, and concluded

there was little or no evidence the diets led to lower rates of cancer and

heart disease. Madeleine Brand speaks with Alice Lichtenstein, professor of

nutritional science at Tufts University, about the findings.

Hi Iggy:

I can't wait to see the details of this study. What percentage of

calories from fat was considered " low-fat " in this case, and which

types of fat did they feed the subjects and teh controls. And how

carefully were the subjects matched to the control group?

If anyone has the abstract, it would be good to see it. It does not

appear to be in PubMed ........ yet anyway. Or the entire study

would be even better of course.
