Low Fat Diet Beneficial for Women

Recently, a leading medical magazine has published a study which began in 1993 and finished in 2000, involving the monitoring of the impact of a low fat diet on women.
These women, approximately 50,000, were selected at random to follow a low fat diet .
Their goal was to lower fat intake from nearly 38 percent to 20 percent.
A further 29,000 women were randomly asked to continue with their normal diets .
They looked at how many of them on this diet got cardiovascular disease, colo-rectal cancer or breast cancer .
The study did not show much difference between women who were on the low fat diet or their normal diet .
The women on the low fat diet had a limit of 80 mgs of fat a day
The fat limit we have now is much stricter, at 40 to 50 mg a day .
Many other studies that have been undertaken that highlight that women on a low fat diet live longer.
In addition, low fat, low cholesterol have certainly lowered heart attacks and stroke in men.
