The potential for a reduction in dietary fat or for an increase in dietary fiber to reduce breast cancer risk has been debated for some years. It is argued here that available research data, even though extensive, leave open hypotheses ranging from little or no potential to major public health potential for breast cancer prevention by means of these dietary maneuvers. Some elements of a research strategy for testing these and other dietary breast cancer prevention hypotheses are described.
通过减少膳食脂肪或增加膳食纤维来降低乳腺癌风险的可能性已经争论了数年。本文认为,现有研究数据虽然广泛,但对于通过这些饮食措施预防乳腺癌的潜在可能性,从几乎没有可能到具有重大公共卫生潜力等各种假设都尚无定论。本文还描述了用于检验这些以及其他饮食预防乳腺癌假设的研究策略的一些要素。
