What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diet Change

    To Assess the feasibility of a randomized trial to achieve diet change and promote longterm adoption of a low glycemic index diet intervention among women at high risk for breast cancer (> 50% of breast area occupied by radiological density)

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Biomarkers

    To estimate the effect of a low glycemic index diet on breast cancer related biomarkers, including those associated with carbohydrate, growth and steroid hormaone metabolism and mammograhic density. Result from this aim will provide important preliminary data for use in planning a larger clinical trial.

    Measured: 4, 8 & 12 months on Treatment
