According to this WHO report, food choice does make a difference in preventing many types of cancer. Though the following two paragraphs taken from 2003 did not mention breast cancer, we now know (see Dr. Oz's list posted by Elainehttp://www.doctoroz.com/videos/foods...-breast-cancer) that certain fruit and vegetable can help us fight/prevent breast cancer.

Cancer prevention: a healthy diet can help!
Epidemiological studies indicate that the frequent consumption of fruit and vegetables may reduce the risk of developing cancers of epithelial origin, including carcinomas of the pharynx, larynx, lung, oesophagus, stomach, colon and cervix. Recent data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), suggests that a daily consumption of 500 grams (1.1. lbs.) of fruits and vegetables can decrease incidence of cancers of the digestive tract by up to 25 per cent.

The report also says that given the multi-faceted impact of diet on cancer, many countries should encourage consumption of locally produced vegetables, fruit and agricultural products, and avoid the adoption of Western style dietary habits. IARC says that such actions would have health benefits beyond cancer, since other common non-communicable diseases, notably cardiovascular disease and diabetes, share the same lifestyle-related risk factors.
