Anti (Breast) Cancer Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

" Anticancer Diet // Monday, Nov. 15, 2004

Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is sound advice for anyone, but

according to a new study in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers &

Prevention, it may be particularly valuable for older women. A survey

of nearly 3,000 New York City — area women, about half of whom had

developed breast cancer, suggests that eating at least 35 servings of

fruits and vegetables a week can cut the risk of developing hormone-

stimulated breast-cancer tumors by 35% in postmenopausal women. The

University of North Carolina epidemiologists who led the study say

leafy greens and colorful vegetables like carrots, squash, tomatoes

and peppers, which are rich in lycopene and beta carotene, are

especially potent cancer fighters.
