My participating in the WHI health study came about because of my curiosity. I really didn't understand what would be asked of me, but knew that it was an important commitment. Giving up my old favorite fatty foods was hard at first, but with the nutrition classes and group support, I've managed to make some pretty drastic changes in my diet. Hopefully, the results of this study will help not only me, my daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter, but future generations of women as well. I am proud to be a part of such an important study.
