Ontario researchers hope a major study will determine conclusively if a link exists between high-fat diets and breast cancer. The study will involve about 4700 women in 4 centres. Some researchers think there is a link because the incidence for the disease is much higher in North America and northern Europe, where high-fat diets are common, than in Japan, where low-fat diets prevail. "At some point between now and 2005 we'll definitely know [the answer]," says Dr. Norman Boyd, the principal investigator.
安大略省的研究人员希望一项大型研究能最终确定高脂肪饮食与乳腺癌之间是否存在关联。该研究将涉及4个中心的约4700名女性。一些研究人员认为存在关联，因为在高脂肪饮食普遍的北美和北欧，这种疾病的发病率比以低脂肪饮食为主的日本要高得多。主要研究者诺曼·博伊德博士说：“从现在到2005年的某个时候，我们肯定会知道（答案）。”
