THE TIMES: Breast cancer: Eating less fat cuts risk by a fifth, study shows

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

Tony Howell, of Manchester University, cautioned that while it was impossible to ignore such an impressive trial, it did not show that eating fat was the key issue. “Women should try to maintain a healthy weight, exercise for at least 30 minutes a day and cut down on alcohol. Those are the three major risk factors,” Professor Howell said.
