Breast Density Linked to Fat Teenage Diet

Breast Density Linked to Fat Teenage Diet

STATES CHRONICLE – A new study on teenage girls has linked fat diet to breast density. Having higher breast density might later lead to health problems.

The study has been published in the Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention journal and it’s called Dietary Fat Intake During Adolescence and Breast Density Among Young Women.

Seungyoun Jung of the University of Maryland, lead author of the study says that having an appropriate diet during teenage years might lower breast density and possibly breast cancer risks. Other risks like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are also, of course, prevented.

Denser breasts gained mainly through high levels of saturated fats, or low levels of mono and polyunsaturated fats can have a high risk of associated cancers.

Dairy foods like butter, cheese or meat have saturated fats, while avocados, nuts, vegetable oils, and seeds have unsaturated fats.

The study was conducted on 177 teenage girls aged ten to eighteen who took part of the Dietary Intervention Study in Children. With the help of an MRI scanner, researchers measured the density of the girls’ breasts when the girls had grown up to reach twenty-five to twenty-nine years old.

The results showed that the girls with a diet based on many saturated fats and less unsaturated fats had higher breast density fifteen years later. Whether or not breast density leads to cancer later in life, it cannot be said, but breast cancer represents an increased associated risk.

A 2006 meta-analysis showed that women with low dense breasts had four times less associated risk to develop breast cancer than those with the densest breasts.

The researchers want to confirm their observations on a more diverse pool of participants (the girls studied were mostly Caucasian) and a larger population and admit the study is limited not only because of these factors but because of the dependence of the self-reporting method as well.

Another study recently published showed that teenage girls who have a diet based on lots of fruit and veggies have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who do not frequently consume these nutritious products.

Breast density is given by the proportion of fatty tissue in the breast. The glandular breast tissue is sensitive to the many developmental changes occurring during adolescence.

New Research Shows that a Vegan Low-Carb Diet Reduces the Risk of Heart Disease

May 28, 2014 By Sebastian Mc’Mannen Leave a Comment

Vegan Low-Carb DietWe’ve seen how chocolate cuts death rate in heart attack survivors and now we’re got another piece of news that may possibly change the way we fight against heart disease. A study performed by Dr. David Jenkins from the St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto (Canada) revealed some impressive new results. A vegan low-carb diet, also known to the world as an eco-Atkins diet, was very effective for weight loss, which isn’t much of a surprise. Apparently, new research from the same team says that this diet may also reduce the risk of developing heart disease by 10% over the course of 10 years.

A Vegan Low-Carb Diet Reduces the Risk of Heart Disease

According to the scientists who did the research, the key to reducing the risk of heart disease is not only a low-carb diet, but also a vegan one. Eating animal proteins and fats will increase cholesterol. This can build up in the walls of blood vessels, cause blockages, and increase the risk of developing heart disease.  A vegan diet, rich in vegetable proteins and oils and low in carbohydrates, will lower the LDL, which is the bad cholesterol.

The eco-Atkins diet consists of foods that are both vegan and low in carbs, so the team of scientists wanted to see if the diet could lower the risk of getting heart disease. The team assessed 39 overweight people between April 2005 and November 2006.  They were divided into two groups. One followed the eco-Atkins for half a year and the other ate a high-carb low-fat diet.

At the end of the research, it was found that those who followed the eco-Atkins diet had 10% less cholesterol and had lost 4 pounds on average. The  group that was on the vegan low-carb diet was told that they should get 26% of their calories from carbs, 31% from proteins and 435 from fats, which are mainly vegetable oils. The bottom line is that the results of this study translated into a 10% reduced risk of heart disease over a period of 10 years.

Of course, further trials are needed to confirm these results, but they are promising. Does this study motivate you enough to try a vegan low-carb diet? Do you care about your health that much to give up milk and dairy? Would you do it if your doctor told you to?

Scientists unfold mystery why we put on weight post diet

September 20, 2013 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment

Every time you decide to have a diet plan to cut that extra kilos you end up getting more obese.

A new study has unveiled the mystery why people put on weight after a shedding some post a diet programme.

The study led by researchers at the University of Adelaide says, the way in which our stomach detects and tells our brains how full we are becomes damaged in obese people. It does not return to normal once they lose weight. This lead you to become fat while on a diet.

In laboratory studies, a Phd student from University of Adelaide, Stephen Kentish investigated the impact of a high-fat diet on the gut’s ability to signal fullness, and whether those changes revert back to normal by losing weight.

The findings show the nerves in the stomach that signal fullness to the brain appear to be desensitized after long-term consumption of a high-fat diet. This makes the obese people more fat even if being on a rigourous diet.

The results that were published in International Journal of Obesity.
