HURLEY TO LAUNCH FOOD BRAND
British actress ELIZABETH HURLEY is launching a range of organic and low-fat food.
The actress was inspired to go into business after reading dietary advice for women hoping to avoid breast cancer - and discovering a massive gap in the market.
Hurley tells People.com, "I’m developing a line of products … with a view that they’re not only going to be healthy, because they’re organic, but I’m obsessed that women find alternatives to eat which are low in fat.
"I think we know now that many issues with women’s health can be linked back to their diet. We’ve been saying for a long time that many breast cancer specialists recommend sticking to as low-fat a diet as possible, which all has to do with how estrogen is stored in the body." Hurley was in New York City on Thursday (2Oct08) to light department store Bloomingdale’s pink, to raise awareness for breast cancer.
The star - who lives on a farm in the English countryside - launched her own Breast Cancer Research Foundation after her grandmother died from the disease.
