There is more potentially good news about eating a Mediterranean diet boosted with a sizable supplement of extra virgin olive oil. A small study of Spanish women showed the diet “was associated with a relatively lower risk of breast cancer,” according to a news release. The study followed two groups of women averaging in their late 60s - 4,282 in total - who were given two variations of a Mediterranean diet, a diet that is heavy on fruits, nuts and vegetables with small portions of fish, lean meat, cheese and wine. One group had their diet supplemented with extra virgin olive oil, while another were given nuts instead. Extra virgin olive oil is believed to be healthy because it is manufactured without chemicals or heat which could change its beneficial properties. "Several biological mechanisms could explain the putative anticarcinogenic properties of extra virgin olive oil," the researchers wrote. Starting in 2003, the olive oil group received a liter per week for them and their families, and the nut group received 15 grams of walnuts, 7.5 grams of almonds and another 7.4 grams of hazelnuts. In 2009, those who had the olive oil showed a 68 percent lower risk of malignant breast cancer compared to a control group, while those eating nuts had similar rates of cancer as the control group. “The Mediterranean dietary pattern has attracted considerable attention because, historically, breast cancer rates have been lower in Mediterranean countries than in Northern or Central European countries or the United States," the researchers wrote. The study, which was led by researchers at the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain, did have a couple shortcomings. The women studied were originally enrolled to study the effects of the Mediterranean diet on heart disease. Also,researchers say they still can’t tell if the olive oil was the reason or if it was adherence to the diet. Researchers say the results of the study “suggest a beneficial effect of a [Mediterranean diet] supplemented with [olive oil] in the primary prevention of breast cancer. Preventive strategies represent the most sensible approach against cancer.” Breast cancer is the second most deadly cancer in the U.S., with 232,000 diagnoses this year, according to the American Cancer Society. Roughly 40,000 will die of the disease.

Mediteranska dijeta smanjuje rizik od raka dojke Mediteranska prehrana se odavno promovira kao prehrana koja čuva zdravlje srca. No, za žene, sada postoji još jedan dobar razlog da usvoje ovu dijetu. Nova studija iz Španjolske je otkrila da mediteranska prehrana s maslinovim uljem može smanjiti rizik od raka dojke. Mediteranska prehrana se temelji na tradicionalnim namirnicama koje su uobičajene u zemljama koje okružuju Sredozemno more. U ovoj dijeti naglasak je na povrću, zdravim mastima poput maslinova ulja, bilju i začinima koji se koriste umjesto soli, ribe umjesto crvenog mesa i crnog vina (u umjerenim količinama). Za ovu studiju, tim istraživača sa sveučilišta Navarra u Španjolskoj, pogledao je potencijalne učinke mediteranske prehrane na rizik od raka dojke. Znanstvenici su koristili podatke iz PREDIMED studije, dugoročne prehrambene studije koja je proučavala učinke mediteranske dijete na bolesti srca. Tim je podijelio 4,282 žena s prosječnom dobi od 68 u tri skupine. Žene u prvoj skupini su jele mediteransku prehranu s više maslinovog ulja. Žene u drugoj skupini su jele mediteransku prehranu s više orašastih plodova. Žene u trećoj skupini su se držale svoje uobičajene prehrane, ali im je savjetovano da smanje unos masnoća. Većina žena iz istraživanja je ušla u menopauzu prije 55. godine, a manje od 3 posto je koristilo hormonsku terapiju, koja može povećati rizik od raka dojke. Prehrambene navike žena su praćene u razdoblju od 2003. do 2009. godine. One koje su jele mediteransku prehranu s maslinovim uljem imale su 68 posto manji rizik od raka dojke od onih koje su bile na dijeti s malo masnoća. Žene koje su jele mediteransku prehranu s orasima imale su tek nešto manji rizik od raka dojke u odnosu na skupinu koja je bila na dijeti s manje masnoća. Istraživanje je objavljeno u časopisu JAMA Internal Medicine.
