Don't eat starch. Don't eat fat. Low-carb diets, i.e., high protein diets, are usually high fat, ketogenic diets, e.g., Atkins.
Oh, BTW, the study is a bunch of crap.
Breast cancer survivors whose starch intake is above average have a greater risk of cancer recurrence compared to other breast cancer survivors, researchers from the University of California, San Diego explained at the 2011 CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, Dec. 6-10, 2011. The researchers added that it is in particular starch that raises the risk, and not just overall carbohydrates...
The team carried out an analysis on 2,651 females who had taken part in the Women's Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) Dietary Intervention Trial. This study was a plant-based intervention trial involving a total of 3,088 breast cancer survivors - the analysis was on a subset of women. The scientists had set out to determine whether carbohydrate consumption impacted on breast cancer recurrence, and followed up the women for seven years (average).
Edmond said:
"The WHEL dietary trial, even though it focused on fruits and vegetables, fiber and fat, didn't really have a specific carbohydrate goal."
The team gathered data on carbohydrate intake from several 24-hour dietary recalls at the start of the study and at one year. They telephoned the participants once a year, and gathered information on what they had eaten during the previous 24 hours.
Average carbohydrate intake at baseline was 233 grams per day.
They found that carbohydrate intake during the first year:
was 2.3 grams per day higher among the women whose breast cancer had recurred
was 2.7 grams per day lower among the women whose breast cancer had not recurred
Note the difference was a matter of a few grams.
There are 28.375 grams in an ounce.
If just a few grams makes such a huge difference, there is no hope.
No choice but starvation.
