A vegetable-fruit-soy dietary pattern protects against breast cancer among postmenopausal Singapore Chinese women.
Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and soy foods may help to slash breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.
This study evaluated the role regular intake of diets high in fruits, vegetables, and soy foods play in the prevention of breast cancer. Researchers studied the diets of 34,028 Chinese postmenopausal women and tracked the breast cancer incidence rates in the study population.
Researchers observed a significant reduction in breast cancer risk in subjects on diets that promote the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and soy foods. Evidence from this study support the inclusion of fruits, vegetables, and soy foods as part of a dietary approach for the prevention of breast cancer.
