Women who gain more than 20 pounds throughout adulthood have an increased risk for postmenopausal breast cancer, according to data collected among 99,039 postmenopausal women in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study. The increased risk was seen only for women not using menopausal hormone therapy.
Is it something I ate? Could be. This NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study of 188,736 postmenopausal women finds that as the amount of fat a woman consumes increases, so does her risk of developing breast cancer. And this seems to be more pronounced in women not taking menopausal hormones.
