Breast cancer is a complex disease with many contributing factors. Some of these factors, such as age, family history, genetics, and gender, cannot be controlled.
However, there are factors that individuals can control, which include smoking, not exercising, being overweight, and their diet. Some researchers maintain that diet could be responsible for 30 to 40 percent of all cancers.
Breast cancer can start in different places, grow in different ways, and require different kinds of treatment. Just as certain cancers respond better to certain treatments, certain cancers respond well to specific foods.
A variety of fruits and vegetables is important for a healthful diet but may also help to prevent breast cancer.
The following foods are considered part of a healthful diet in general, and they may help to prevent the development or progression of breast cancer:
foods rich in fiber, such as whole grains, beans, and legumes
low-fat milk and dairy products
soybean-based products
foods rich in vitamin D
foods, particularly spices, with anti-inflammatory properties
