Ruminating on recent ASBD meeting sessions

It is a good feeling to find that the experts agree with you!!!(my tongue is in my cheek).  In the prevention sessions of the recent American Society of Breast Disease meeting, I found my self saying, "I tell patients that" or "I recommend that".  What I have been blogging and saying about how to prevent breast cancer was confirmed again at the meeting.


Key general points to prevent breast cancer:

• Be lean
• Be active
• Regularly exercise
• Don't smoke
• Limit alcohol
• Limit red meat
• Eat more fruits and veggies (particularly cruciforms)
• Take Omega3
• Take aspirin

Together we can prevent 75,000 breast cancer cases each year!

Remember all these points are general information and not personal medical advice.  Consult with your physician.
