Starting a low-fat diet in mid-life does not, by itself, decrease a woman's risk of heart disease or stroke or dramatically reduce her risk of breast or colorectal cancer, according to three studies published today of almost 50,000 healthy, post-menopausal women. But don?t break out the ice cream just yet. Once you get into the nitty-gritty of the study, the investigators stress, the findings still support the general idea that you need to pay attention to how much fat-and particularly what kinds...

Its future matters not just to Federated shareholders but also to a $100 billion chunk of the retail economy. Everyone from fashion designers to cosmetics companies to small-town malls is praying that Lundgren's strategy works. Department stores have struggled for years...
