I'll Supersize That

Well, I never. Turns out that a low-fat diet doesn't reduce your cancer risk:

Those assigned to a low-fat diet had the same rates of breast cancer, colon cancer, heart attacks and strokes as those who ate whatever they pleased, researchers are reporting today.

As someone who usually falls in the second category, I guess this is good. But disquieting.

Nevertheless, this is thrilling news for fast food restaurants everywhere. I extend my sympathies to the brussels sprouts industry.
