Pibikay,
Antioxidants and phytochemicals appear to play a vital role in disease prevention, including breast cancer prevention and prevention of recurrence. Generally speaking it is wise to consume a diet with a good variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains with a variety of colors. It is important to acknowledge that antioxidants can sometimes interfere with certain conventional medications (i.e. chemotherapy, Tamoxifen) or even the disease itself (i.e. debate regarding soy/breast cancer). In regards to olive oil itself there is some evidence that a Mediterranean-type diet may provide some protection against breast cancer but that is not a certainty. A moderate amount of olive oil is likely a beneficial component of an anti-breast cancer diet.
