French researchers report a study showing that women with
high levels of alpha-linolenic acid in their breast tissue
had a 60% lower risk for breast cancer than women with low
levels of the acid. Their findings came after they measured
the levels of fatty acids in adipose breast tissue samples
from 123 women with nonmetastatic breast cancer and 59 women
with benign breast cancer.
