“…In parallel to the westernization of lifestyle in this area, which might be associated with a greater intake of dietary fats, increased awareness about the difference between hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated fats has resulted in reduced consumption of hydrogenated vegetable oils and rather increased intake of non-hydrogenated vegetable oils, which might be associated with increased consumption of dietary LA. 14 This fatty acid has earlier been shown to contribute to reduced risk of several chronic conditions, including diabetes 15 and even mortality. 16 We found an inverse association between dietary LA and odds of breast cancer.…”

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the association between dietary linoleic acid (LA) intake and breast cancer in women. Methods: In this population-based case-control study, we enrolled 350 pathologically confirmed breast cancer cases and 700 controls which were matched with cases in terms of age and socioeconomic status. Dietary intakes were assessed using a 106-item Willett-format semi-quantitative dish-based food frequency questionnaire (DS-FFQ). Odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated. Results: A significant inverse association was found between LA intake and odds of breast cancer (OR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.30-0.56). After adjusting for potential confounders, women in the highest tertile of dietary LA intake were 48% less likely to have breast cancer compared with those in the lowest tertile (OR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.28-0.95). Such a significant inverse association was also seen among normal-weight women (OR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.14-0.63), and premenopausal women (OR: 0.15, 95% CI: 0.02-0.95). Conclusion: The findings of current study provide evidence for a protective role of LA against breast cancer particularly among normal-weight and premenopausal women. Prospective studies are needed to confirm this association.

“…Veghari et al 20 report on the high but decreasing consumption of hydrogenated oils, which are cheaper than other edible oils, in Iran. Consumption of hydrogenated oils is a world-wide phenomena, often more so than we appreciate; they often are found in highly manufactured/prepared foods in the United States, such as store-bought cookies and muffins.…”

This issue exemplifies family physicians' ability to provide great care and to continuously improve. For example, beyond other specialty care, the care provided by family physicians is associated with improved melanoma diagnosis and outcomes and improved preventive services for those with a history of breast cancer. Electronic health records are providing new avenues to both assess outcomes and influence care. However, to truly reward quality care, simplistic and readily measurable items such as laboratory results or assessment of the provision of preventive services must be adjusted for risk. Health insurance influences classic preventive care services more than personal health behaviors. The care provided at federally qualified health centers throughout the nation is highly appreciated by the people they serve and is not plagued by the types of disparities in other settings. (J Am Board Fam Med 2013; 26:617-619.)Maly et al 1 show the positive impact of family physicians on recommended preventive services in the follow-up care of underserved female breast cancer survivors. The disparity between specialities was dramatic for colonoscopy in particular, where only a quarter of patients seeing only surgeons/ cancer specialists for follow-up received the recommended screening.Related to another cancer-melanoma-Roetzheim et al 2 showed that visiting a family physician compared with only a dermatologist before the diagnosis of melanoma was associated with a diagnosis of more thin melanomas and possibly a lower rate of mortality. To improve the accuracy of detection of skin cancers, Eide et al 3 tested an intriguing intervention using a readily available, 1-to 2-hour, interactive web-based course. In addition to evaluations after the course, this study considered referrals to dermatology before and after the course and diagnoses after the course. Most of the providers had trained in internal medicine. The evaluations immediately and after 6 months found improved scores, and the later practice patterns found fewer referrals to dermatology but no obvious change in the rate of diagnosis of skin cancers. The physicians reporting no past dermatology training had the greatest improvement. Effects of Insurance on Preventive Services and Health BehaviorsJerant et al 4 reported that patients who newly obtained health insurance after being uninsured clearly receive more recommended preventive care that are based on the health system (eg, Papanicolaou tests, mammograms, and immunizations); the opposite is also true: losing insurance decreases these services. Yet patients' personal health behaviors did not improve or worsen with changes in health insurance. Unfortunately, this questions the ability of the health care system to either recognize negative patient behaviors, assist patients in changing them, or both. Perhaps follow-up longer than 1 year would change these outcomes since behavior changes often take repeated efforts over multiple years.
