We noted last week that fiber intake is inversely proportional to breast cancer risk.
EAT MORE FIBER, HAVE FEWER BREAST CANCERS!
Although we don't know all there is to know about breast cancer causes, there are laboratory and clinical studies that have suggested several mechanisms for the breast cancer reduction from fiber.
High fiber intake has been shown to reduce breast cancer tumor growth in mice and that high fiber intake reduced breast cancer incidence in rats. In clinical studies fiber reduces estrogen levels in humans. Fiber delays gastric emptying and increases transport through the rest of the intestines, reducing insulin levels. High fiber diets are found in fewer obese women. You may read more at http://annonc.oxfordjournals.org/content/23/6/1394.full.
Add fiber to the list of those lifestyle changes associated with fewer breast cancers.
BE LEAN, BE ACTIVE, REGULARLY EXERCISE, EAT MORE CRUCIFORM VEGETABLES, EAT RED APPLES, RED GRAPES, STRAWBERRIES, COFFEE AND DARK CHOCOLATE.
Good stuff on that list!
Together we can prevent 86,000 breast cancer cases this year!

Why do you recommend coffee? Because it is an anti-oxidant? How about promoting green tea instead! Or putting limitations on the amount and type of coffee, as too much can lead to health issues and most brands are highly processed. Coffee can eat away at the villi of the small intestine, reduce nutrient assimilation, weaken adrenal glands, and affect blood sugar regulation. Decaf has its own issues with added chemicals. I know there is mixed research out there about the pros and cons of caffeine, but coffee has its own issues outside of the caffeine issue because of the way it's processed (unless you are buying organic, good quality coffee.) Thanks for the continued great tips.
