Yes, trans-fat can double the risk of breast cancer. By now we all know trans-fat is bad, but researchers in Europe found the link to breast cancer.

The researchers recorded food habits of 25 thousands women for three years and studied them a long time for cancer. They compared the blood fat level of 363 women that have cancer with that of healthy women. They found that women with highest level of trans-fats are twice more likely to have breast cancer than those women with the lowest level of trans-fat. Those margarines which are supposed to be better than butter are no better, if not worse. Unfortunately, the good fat known as omega-3 does not help in reducing the risk of breast cancer.

I guess life is like Murphy’s laws. Things that claim to be better are usually worse. Things that taste good are either immoral, illegal, or cause cancer.
