Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 Dioxin risk reinforces recommendation for low-fat diet May 18, 2000 Web posted at: 10:28 AM EDT (1428 GMT) WASHINGTON (AP) -- Consider it a possible additional reason to eat a low-fat diet. A draft report from the Environmental Protection Agency suggests the cancer risk from dioxins may be greater than previously thought, but only among people who eat lots of fat. That may sound scary but even if it's true, these long-controversial chemicals still would play a very small role in anyone's individual risk, say cancer experts. Eating a low-fat diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, regular exercise and not smoking are the best recommendations for preventing cancer and preventing heart disease, the nation's No. 1 killer. http://cnn.com/2000/HEALTH/diet.fitness/05/18/dioxin.food.ap/index.html -- _____________ Free email services provided by http://www.goodkarmamail.com powered by OutBlaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
