Low-Fat Diet's Benefits Rejected
Study Finds No Drop in Risk for Disease

 The eight-year study of nearly 50,000 middle-age and elderly women – by far the largest, most definitive test of cutting fat from the diet -- did not find any clear evidence that doing so reduced their risks, undermining more than a decade of advice from many doctors.

"Based on our findings, we cannot recommend that most women should follow a low-fat diet,“ said Jacques Rossouw of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which funded the $415 million study.
