A class of fats that is widespread in the American diet has been
linked to an increased risk of developing breast cancer.
The substances, called trans fatty acids, are prominent in many
processed and fast foods, margarines and some vegetable oils. A
study of nearly 700 postmenopausal European women found that those
whose bodies contained the highest levels of trans fatty acids were
40% more likely than those with the lowest levels to develop breast
cancer.
The greatest risk three and a half times as high as the risk
among those with the lowest levels was seen among women with both
the highest trans fatty acid levels and low levels of
polyunsaturated fatty acids.
