The randomized trial examined 2,400 postmenopausal women who had received standard therapies for cancer such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy or some combination of these. One group of women was asked to use less than 20% of total calories per day (33 grams of total fat) while the other was asked to continue using around 51 grams of fat. Five years later, the low-fat diet group experienced a significantly lower rate of breast cancer recurrence than the other group: 9.8% versus 12.4%. The benefit of a low-fat diet was even greater in those whose cancer was not sensitive to estrogen. A healthy low-fat diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.
