Low-fat dietary pattern and long-term breast cancer incidence and mortality
Sometimes studies are just useless : less fat = less cancer??? but wait, in the mean time they were eating more fruits and veggies....hum...
"dietary change can reduce a postmenopausal woman’s risk of dying from breast cancer."
everyday when I read the NYT I just realize how much money is wasted in useless studies...so a good nutrition will help your health????I would have never guessed...

LOL. It can all make me a little crazy...
Re: Low-fat dietary pattern and long-term breast cancer incidence and mortality
At 62, what we have been told to eat has changed time and time again. When my dad had heart disease he was told no fat, no eggs, etc. Now they are saying we need good fat and eggs aren't the devil. Instead he would eat cereal every day for breakfast (now that's a big No-No, as it's just processed carbs) and ate margarine instead of butter (now they say that's terrible for you, a bunch of processed chemicals).
So who knows? My theory is if it's something God made like meat, fish, fruits, veggies, beans, etc. we were meant to eat it. Probably a stupid theory, but I'm going with it.

It can all be so confusing. I am re-discovering that I just don't always like the "low fat, no fat, no this, and no that" foods that are on the market. Often times they taste awful and are expensive! I had a doctor who used to say "eat what you like, just eat less of it, watch your portions." That's what I am concentrating on. Every time I hear of a study, it just makes me roll my eyes.

As someone who once designed and ran huge national studies and collected hundreds of thousands of data points on scores of variables, I gotta say this:
Any study that reports that a SINGLE independent variable in human inputs is primarily responsible for another SINGLE dependent variable in human outcomes is f**king wrong.
The end.

It is also really interesting that there is a kind of "nutrition fashion" and it can be different going from one country to an other.
Low fat things like Greek yogurt taste like soap for my picky palate. So I'm also all for a smaller portion but the real deal, because it will tell my brain to stop eating!! not enough fat =too much food....at least for me!

"What was old, is new again"! It all changes more than I change undies:)
I think we're all savvy enough at this stage to glimpse at the new studies and then move on. In case you haven't heard yet, Moving is now good...lol...

Oh my, what a fun thread to realize we trust "experts" way beyond our own intuition and life experience. We are, each of us, wonderfully and individually made, and we all respond to things different. My daddy, God love him, had butter, eggs, bacon, red meat vegetables but no gluten (non celiac sprue) and lived to a healthy 89. He never drank or smoked because it was a "waste of money".
I used to grown all our vegetables, can, grind my wheat and bake my whole grain breads, feed my kids homemade yogurt and kiffer, and NO TV. As adults, they eat what they want, and it includes choices that were "forbidden" them as kids. Needless to say, alcohol, sugar and tv are a moderate part of their lives.
My system is way different than most of y'alls. Not just because I'm 67 (today) but because I like a couple of enzyme to digest some foods, have only 4" of large intestine, plus my sleeve. And we all have celiac disease, so are gluten intolerant but only in a discomfort way, not in a hugely destructive of villi in the intestine way.
n
I eat a bit differently than those on the board, but make healthy choices. And as long as you look to long term health, I do think moderation in most things is one of the few mantras you can safely use throughout life.
If a food doesn't agree with you, or you hate it, don't eat it!
