New from the Journal of the American Medical Association - I've posted a link to the real article but for a 2 cent synopsis ...

8 year study of post-menopausal women nation-wide randomly assigned to a group to reduce total fat in diet by 20% and another group who agreed to eat as they always had for the duration of the study.

Both groups overweight on average.

Fat reduction group did not reduce total fat intake as much as the 20% target.

No physical activity contribution to the study.

With those caveats...

Diet alone does not reduce incidence of breast cancer, colon cancer or heart disease. Pretty big findings I think.
