Another Reason to Cut the Fat

A low-fat diet may help to reduce ovarian cancer risk.
A study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that a low-fat diet may offer some protection against ovarian cancer. Researchers followed more than 48,000 postmenopausal women, asking 40% to begin a low-fat diet and 60% to keep their diets the same. After eight years, those in the low-fat-diet group reduced their risk of ovarian cancer by about 40%.

If you struggle with low-fat dining, try making a weekly “fat budget” like some of the women did in the study. They aimed to keep fat intake at about 20% of total calories but allowed fat grams to carry over from day to day, saving up for their most indulgent meals.
