High fat and highly thermolyzed fat diets promote insulin resistance and increase DNA damage in rats.

30 Oct 2009 Many studies have demonstrated that DNA damage may be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of the potential relationship between fat (thermolyzed) intake, glucose ... Read more...

Physical activity's impact on the association of fat and fiber intake with survival after breast cancer.

20 Oct 2009 This study examined whether, after a breast cancer diagnosis, high intake of animal fat was associated with increased breast cancer mortality and high intake of fiber was associated with decreased breast cancer mortality. Participants were 3,846 US ... Read more...
