Women need to control their intake of dietary fat.   A diet with high fat may drastically raise the risk of developing invasive breast cancer in women, according to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

The study led by researchers at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland found women eating more than 40 percent of calories from fat had a 15 percent higher chance of developing breast cancer than women who ate only 20 percent of calories from fat.
