iJournal of the National Cancer Institute, Vol. 95, No. 16. (20 August 2003), pp. 1218-1226./ibr /br /BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with increased breast cancer risk among postmenopausal women. We examined whether this association could be explained by the relationship of body mass index (BMI) with serum sex hormone concentrations. METHODS: We analyzed individual data from eight prospective studies of postmenopausal women. Data on BMI and prediagnostic estradiol levels were available for 624 case subjects and 1669 control subjects; data on the other sex hormones were available for fewer subjects. The relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of breast cancer associated with increasing BMI were estimated by conditional logistic regression on case-control sets, matched within each study for age and recruitment date, and adjusted for parity. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS: Breast cancer risk increased with increasing BMI (P(trend) =.002), and this increase in RR was substantially reduced by adjustment for serum estrogen concentrations. Adjusting for free estradiol reduced the RR for breast cancer associated with a 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI from 1.19 (95% CI = 1.05 to 1.34) to 1.02 (95% CI = 0.89 to 1.17). The increased risk was also substantially reduced after adjusting for other estrogens (total estradiol, non-sex hormone-binding globulin-bound estradiol, estrone, and estrone sulfate), and moderately reduced after adjusting for sex hormone-binding globulin, whereas adjustment for the androgens (androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and testosterone) had little effect on the excess risk. CONCLUSION: The results are compatible with the hypothesis that the increase in breast cancer risk with increasing BMI among postmenopausal women is largely the result of the associated increase in estrogens, particularly bioavailable estradiol.br /iTJ Key, PN Appleby, GK Reeves, A Roddam, JF Dorgan, C Longcope, FZ Stanczyk, HE Stephenson, RT Falk, R Miller, A Schatzkin, DS Allen, IS Fentiman, TJ Key, DY Wang, M Dowsett, HV Thomas, SE Hankinson, P Toniolo, A Akhmedkhanov, K Koenig, RE Shore, A Zeleniuch-Jacquotte, F Berrino, P Muti, A Micheli, V Krogh, S Sieri, V Pala, E Venturelli, G Secreto, E Barrett-Connor, GA Laughlin, M Kabuto, S Akiba, RG Stevens, K Neriishi, CE Land, JA Cauley, LH Kuller, SR Cummings, KJ Helzlsouer, AJ Alberg, TL Bush, GW Comstock, GB Gordon, SR Miller, C Longcope, /i

iBMJ (Clinical research ed.), Vol. 331, No. 7520. (8 October 2005)/ibr /br /OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of dietary folate intake on the relation between alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Melbourne, Australia. PARTICIPANTS: 17,447 Anglo-Australian women resident in Melbourne, aged 40-69 years at recruitment in 1990-4, and followed up until 31 December 2003. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Invasive breast cancers diagnosed during follow-up and ascertained through the Victorian cancer registry. RESULTS: 537 invasive breast cancers were diagnosed. Compared with lifetime abstainers, the hazard ratio for breast cancer in women who consumed an average of 40 g or more of alcohol daily at baseline was 1.41 (95% confidence interval 0.90 to 2.23). No direct association was found between dietary folate intake and risk of breast cancer, but a high folate intake mitigated the excess risk associated with alcohol. The estimated hazard ratio of an alcohol consumption of 40 g/day or more was 2.00 (1.14 to 3.49) for women with intakes of 200 mug/day of folate and 0.77 (0.33 to 1.80) for 400 mug/day of folate (P = 0.04 for interaction between alcohol and folate). CONCLUSIONS: An adequate dietary intake of folate might protect against the increased risk of breast cancer associated with alcohol consumption.br /iL Baglietto, DR English, DM Gertig, JL Hopper, GG Giles/i

We already knew The Huffington Post was looking for capital, but it turns out to be a little more than the projected $15 million. Kara Swisher says the political uber-blog has raised $25 million from Oak Investment Partners and will announce the news this morning.

When The HuffPo raised $5 million in September last year, we wondered how much it was worth. Kara’s source indicates the valuation is ‘just south of $100 million’.

The new capital will serve for the expansion of The Huffington Post’s offerings and recruitment. In an interview with BoomTown, Oak’s Fred Harman said:

There is an inevitable shift from offline to online with people increasingly getting their news media online, and this election proved how powerful the Huffington Post could be. And I think the post-election perception of the Huffington Post has changed in the eyes of advertisers to being a key mainstream news site.
