The largest study ever to ask whether a low-fat diet reduces the risk of getting cancer or heart disease has found that the diet has no effect.
The $415 million federal study involved nearly 49,000 women ages 50 to 79 who were followed for eight years. In the end, those assigned to a low-fat diet had the same rates of breast cancer, colon cancer, heart attacks and strokes as those who ate whatever they pleased, researchers are reporting today.
AHHAh AHah hHAah aha aha haa
And, once again, it's a study composed entirely of women. Because it's really the fat women in this country that we're all so terribly scared of.

I wanted to write for the Carnival, but, well, things here have been crazy, to say the least.
Next time, next time...
