Study: Weight Loss Cuts Breast Cancer Risk in Post-Menopausal Women

losing just 5% of your body weight cuts your risk of breast cancer. Study author Dr. Rowan Chlebowski from City of Hope National Medical Center said of the 60,000-women study: “The women [in the study] who lost 5% of body weight over just a 3-year period ended up having a 12% statistically significant reduction in breast cancer incidence.” Obesity is a well-known risk factor for breast cancer in older women, Chlebowski said. But researchers didn’t know if losing weight could reduce that risk. He said: “It looks like once you get obese, there’s a lot of body signals that stimulate breast cancer growth and so the question is even a little moderate change in diet and moderate weight loss will reduce those signals.”
