I joined the Breast Cancer Sister Study last year after my sister was dxed. I had to fill out tons of questionnaires about diet, habits and environment from ages 10-12 (I think) and now. Diet as in foods eaten including fats, processed meats, etc. Habits as in makeup worn, deoderants, lotions, etc. Environment as in living proximity to chemical plants, gas stations, tanneries, etc.
Unfortunately, being dxed this year myself... I'm out of the study.
