Our study, even though it has yet to yield the dramatic results that we, some might have hoped for, does include some trends toward positive health benefits.

Even though the data are not as precise as we would like, they do bring some fresh and important data to the table that hadn't existed before.

I think women who are currently following a low-fat diet should be encouraged to do so. We didn't see any unfavorable effects. For women who are at high risk for breast cancer, they should talk it over with their physicians whether adopting a low-fat diet might be warranted.

This is a novel study, and although the results seem disappointing to some, we see points of encouragement.

The long-term legacy will be one of encouraging this research area. We need to find that intervention that will make a big difference.

The bottom line is that changing to a low-fat diet may reduce breast cancer risk, especially among women who have a relatively high-fat diet to begin with, but we don't view our data as strong enough at this time to make a broad recommendation that all women initiate a low-fat diet for that purpose.

We don't regard our data as strong enough at this time to recommend that all post-menopausal women start a low-fat diet for the purpose of reducing breast cancer risk.

We don't see any hint of a reduction in (colorectal cancer). For heart disease, we saw only a tiny reduction in the bad cholesterol.

If we had achieved an even higher adherence rate, I believe the study's results would have been more dramatic.
