Elizabeth Hurley is said to be in the works to launch her own line of organic and low-fat food.

The British 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 for the Illumination of Bloomingdale’s store for Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The star, who lives on a farm in the English countryside and has been reportedly in the works with her own reality show Down On The Farm, launched her own Breast Cancer Research Foundation after her grandmother died from the disease.
