What A Woman Eats Can Reduce Her Risk of Breast Cancer By Up To 75%

If you're a woman who wants to help prevent breast cancer there's something simple you can do with your fork and knife; eat alot of plants.

In a 2013 study of Iranian women ages 30-65, consuming the following was shown to reduce breast cancer risk by up to 75%:

Vegetables

Fruits

Low-fat dairy products

Legumes

Olive and vegetable oils

Fish

Condiments

Organ meat

Poultry

Pickles

Soy

Whole grains

 

The study also found an increased risk of breast cancer was found in women consuming soft drinks, sugars, tea and coffee, French fries and potato chips, salt, sweets and desserts, hydrogenated fats, nuts, industrial juice, refined grains, and red and processed meat.

In another study of retired California female teachers over 14 years found that only those on a plant-based diet had a 15 percent reduced risk of breast cancer compared with those who did not include abundant fruits and vegetables in their diets.
