Only women? This study was for dietary influences that increase heart and cardiovascular health, not breast cancer. That’s easily explained. This study was one of many in which registered nurses are the subjects, called the “Nurses’ Health Study.”

That’s a pretty convenient approach since nurses are medically savvy and they work in doctors’ offices, clinics and hospitals, thus making them easily surveyed, observed, and tested within a prospective study.

Prospective studies are epidemiological (statistically surveyed) studies carried out from a start point and into the future. Using nurses gives researchers an easily controlled and responsive subject base for gathering data as time progresses.
