Lower Your Breast Cancer Risk With....FOOD

I am a very strong proponent of the simplified idea of "you are what you eat," and that your dietary habits influence your overall health. There's been a recent surge of information regarding antioxidants, and Omega-3's and this article takes nutrition one step further and says that regulating what you eat may lower your risk of breast cancer.

Some helpful suggestions include: staying away from bbq/charred meat, eating more produce, and increasing your intake of calcium and vitamin D.

And even if some of the data isn't entirely solid/conclusive, they're good suggestions. (like eating less saturated fat is probably a good thing overall--anti-cancer or not. )
