    "High alcohol intake has been consistently linked to breast cancer risk, but when it comes to other facets of the diet, studies have yielded conflicting results, according to the researchers on the current work, led by Dr. Valeria Edefonti of the University of Milan."

    "Some studies, for example, have found that women who eat a lot of red and processed meat are more likely to develop breast cancer than other women; but other studies have found no such link. Saturated fat, found mainly in animal products, has been tied to higher breast cancer risk in some studies, but not in others."

    "While many of these studies have looked at single nutrients or food groups, another way to address the question is to look at dietary patterns -- the combination of nutrients and foods that a person tends to favor."

      I think the best advice is to eat simply. the digestion system is constantly taxed. we need to use less energy digesting our foods and more energy on healing.

      I recommend juicing, eating more raw, easily digested fruits and vegetables, and only a little meat protein. (about 4 oz. because we need just "a little")
