Breast Cancer - Diet

Dietary Fat Linked to Breast Cancer
In an effort to pinpoint the cause of breast cancer, British researchers have examined "all relevant epidemiological and biological evidence" pertaining to the disease's development. They found that dietary factors, especially fat, were strongly implicated. Researchers hypothesize that dietary fat does not cause the disease, but instead works to deplete essential agents normally able to fight it off.

While scientists scramble to identify what these nutrients are, there is no need to go unprotected. Plant foods have always triumphed in their disease-fighting ability. Protect yourself now with a rich variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes.
