NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Diets high in vegetables, fruits and soy might cut the risk of developing breast cancer by 30 percent, new research suggests.
In a study, Dr. Lesley M. Butler, of Colorado State University and colleagues, noticed a trend of "decreasing breast cancer risk with increasing intake of a vegetable-fruit-soy dietary pattern" in the 34,000 Chinese women studied.
Even though the researchers identified and analyzed dietary patterns among Chinese women from Singapore, Butler believes the findings are relevant for American women.
