Kaiser Permanente researchers followed women diagnosed with early-stage invasive breast cancer and found those eating a serving or more of high-fat dairy a day had a 49% higher risk of dying from breast cancer and a 64% higher risk of dying from any cause during follow-up.

Olive oil makes you feel full (PR)
Researchers at TU Munich and the University of Vienna fed participants low-fat yoghurt enriched with lard, butterfat, rapeseed oil or olive oil daily for three months. The olive oil group felt fullest, showed more blood serotonin, and gained no weight or body fat over the period.

Deep-fried foods linked to prostate cancer
Comparing 1,549 prostate cancer cases with 1,492 controls, researchers linked eating French fries, fried chicken, fried fish or doughnuts more than once a week to 30-37% higher risk, with stronger links to aggressive disease. What drives the risk remains undetermined.

Milk boosts death risk from prostate cancer
In the Physicians' Health Study of 21,660 doctors followed 28 years, men eating more than 2.5 daily servings of dairy were 12% more likely to develop prostate cancer, and one serving of whole milk a day tracked with nearly 50% more fatal disease.

High fat hamburger bad for diabetes mellitus, but spice can help
In a crossover trial, 22 people with type 2 diabetes ate high-fat burgers cooked with salt only or with a polyphenol-rich spice mix. The spice mix eased the meal's damage to blood vessel function; glucose, insulin and triglycerides were similar either way.

Dairy Linked to Acne Development
A review in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics reports that dairy products and high-glycemic-index foods are leading causes of acne, with cow's milk stimulating hormones linked to it. Low-fat milk showed a greater association than high-fat milk.

Drinking milk linked to high risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women
A 2007 survey of 590 Korean American women in California found that higher acculturation, meaning more milk drinking, tracked with more osteoporosis among postmenopausal women, though not among premenopausal ones.

Eating vegetables cuts risk of ER-breast cancer
Pooling 20 cohort studies of 993,466 women, researchers tied the highest vegetable intake to 18% lower risk of estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer, with no association for total or ER-positive disease. High fruit intake corresponded to a 6% reduction.

How Safe Is the Milk?
Most milk no longer carries Monsanto's rBGH after a consumer backlash, but the piece questions whether it is safe. It cites industry testimony that all dairy cows get antibiotics, a New York Times report that milk is tested for only six of 20, and industry resistance to wider testing.

Drinking tea may cut prostate cancer risk
Geybels and colleagues analysed a King County, Washington case-control study of 892 cases and 863 controls and found men drinking two or more cups of tea a day had a 37 percent lower risk of prostate cancer than those drinking one cup or less. Coffee showed no association.

Alcohol causes colorectal cancer
A review in Current Nutrition Reports calls the evidence linking alcohol intake to colorectal cancer convincing, though how alcohol causes it remains largely unknown. Author Manami Inoue says avoiding excess intake could substantially cut the resulting burden.

Dietary Fat Affects Breast Cancer Survival
A review found higher saturated fat intake before a breast cancer diagnosis tied to greater breast cancer and all-cause mortality, and trans fat eaten after diagnosis tied to at least 45% higher all-cause mortality. Links for monounsaturated fat were not statistically significant.
Food
Breast cancer risk lower in women eating flaxseed
A study of 2,999 women with breast cancer and 3,370 without found flaxseed eaters had 18 percent lower risk of the disease and flax bread eaters 23 percent lower. The authors note flaxseed is the richest source of dietary lignans and that intake can be changed.

Foods that affect the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus
A Journal of Paramedical Sciences review links saturated and trans fats, high-fat dairy, meat, eggs, sugary drinks and high-glycemic Western diets to greater type 2 diabetes risk, and fiber, unsaturated fats, whole grains, pulses, produce, nuts, coffee and tea to less.

Alcohol is responsible for 60% of breast cancer deaths
David Nelson's team estimated alcohol caused 18,200 to 21,300 U.S. cancer deaths a year, 3.2 to 3.7% of the total, and 53 to 71% of upper airway and esophageal cancer deaths. Up to 1.5 drinks a day accounted for a quarter to a third of them; they found no safe threshold.

Surprising Health Hazards Associated with All-Fruit Diet
Ashton Kutcher told USA Today he ended up hospitalized, doubled over with his pancreas levels out of whack, after taking up the fruitarian diet to play Steve Jobs. Dr. Mercola uses the case to argue for capping fructose near 25 grams a day, or 15 with insulin resistance or heart disease.

Black tea consumption linked to lower stroke risk
Larsson's team followed 74,961 Swedes for about 10 years and found black tea drinkers had a 21 percent lower stroke risk, though the relationship was not dose-responsive. The article notes the study cannot show tea caused the reduction, since tea drinkers may live healthier lives generally.

Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke risk higher in meat consumers
Reviewing the evidence, the authors report that 100 grams a day of total meat, red meat or poultry corresponded to 15%, 13% and 4% higher risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke, and 100 grams a day of processed meat to 32% higher risk.
