In addition, international comparative studies stated, where greater amounts of fat were consumed, breast cancer cases rose.The quality of the results of these comparative studies does not leave much to the imagination. They are based on agricultural production numbers and state nothing about the fat consumption of individual persons.Besides societies differ, where there is little fat eaten as in traditional Japanese rural regions or in Africa as compared to our prosperous western societies that it is impossible to link back the different diseases such as breast cancer to only a meal or to an individual material like fat. Take young African women who get their periods later than western females, but they bear their first child in earlier years and have far more children.
