Preventing Ovarian Cancer

Watching your fat intake has been known to help prevent breast cancer, but new research suggests that it may also prevent ovarian cancer. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported that"postmenopausal women who trimmed their daily fat intake to 20% (instead of the average 35%) reduced their risk by 40% in just 4 years." Higher levels of estrogen are linked to ovarian cancer and eating a low-fat diet decreases the levels of estrogen in the blood.
