Dietary intervention in breast cancer patients: effects on food choice
Article Abstract:
Two hundred forty women who were operated for stage I-II breast cancer were included in a study on the effects of dietary intervention on food choice. The results show a significant decrease in the intake of total milk products, totalmeats, pasta, rice and butter intake in the control group. A more pronounced reduction of high-fat foods and increase in carbohydrate-rich foods were observed in the intervention group compared to the control group. These resultsindicate that significant changes can be produced by dietary counselling to women operated for breast cancer.

Validity of repeated dietary measurements in a dietary intervention study
Article Abstract:
The validity of a dietary survey is evaluated using biological markers for dietary intake in a study where people changed from a mixed diet to a lactovegetarian diet. Results show that dietary data are valid only up to three months after the study with least correlation at 12 months after the dietary shift. Furthermore, it was pointed out that biological markers should be considered in correlating biological effects to the diet after dietary intervention to obtain reliable results.
