Add Healthy Fat to your Diet

Easy ways to include important good-for-you fats in your everyday diet. Add Healthy Fat to Your Diet

1. Try to eat fish twice a week, especially salmon, herring or mackerel. Avoid frozen breaded products made with hydrogenated oil.

2. Sprinkle 2 tsp (10 mL) ground flaxseeds on your cereal or yogurt a few times a week.

3. Use olive or canola oil in salad dressing.

4. Choose cookies and crackers that are not made with hydrogenated oil.

5. If you have a craving for chocolate, eat a few squares of good-quality chocolate made without hydrogenated oil.

6. Occasionally sprinkle walnuts, almonds or peanuts over salads, add them to baking or eat as a fast snack.

7. If there's a choice at a cocktail party, nibble on unsalted almonds or walnuts -- both contain unsaturated fats.

8. Occasionally add an avocado to your salad. It's a great source of monounsaturated fat, which is linked to a reduced risk of breast cancer.

9. Buy omega-3 eggs, which come from hens fed on flaxseed. They contain seven to 12 times more omega-3 than regular eggs.

Two Treatments Similar In Breast Cancer
Results from a clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of the drugs paclitaxel and docetaxel, delivered over two different dosing schedules, showed that both drugs - regardless of the dosing schedules tested in this trial - provided similar benefits for women with stage II or III, operable breast cancer. However, more women treated with docetaxel than with paclitaxel experienced serious side effects from their therapy. The trial was led by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group in collaboration with the Cancer and Leukemia Group B, North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG), and the Southwest Oncology Group. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, supported this Phase III randomized clinical trial. The results were presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on December 8, 2005. ..

Study Sees Higher Risks In Small Breast Tumors
SAN ANTONIO -- Some women with small breast tumors may have a greater risk of the cancer recurring after treatment than has been believed, and might benefit from taking the drug Herceptin, a new study suggests. Treatments like chemotherapy or Herceptin aren't usually recommended for women whose tumors are smaller than 1 centimeter -- just under half an inch -- and have not spread beyond the breast. However, Texas researchers who looked at records on 1,315 such patients found that the 10 percent who had high levels of a protein called HER-2 had three times the risk of suffering a recurrence than did women with less HER-2. Only 77 percent of those with high HER-2 levels were alive and cancer-free five years after tr.
