Yes, Rhonda, this has a lot of diet and supplement info PLUS the research in one package. Thus it is rather long, but there is a printable version and worth doing and keeping as a reference.
Interesting as to what diets lowered the chances of other cancers than breast. We all should be mindful that once we have one cancer we are at greater risk to develop other cancers. Not what you wanted to read, but it is true, and maybe more impetus to try harder on our diets.

Reminded me that my med onc had told me that 1000mg of vit D was what I should consider taking in the dark winter months. Was on my way to the supplements store and will get some more vit D!

Also interesting that the author is from a college town where I got my final degree! Also the place where I learned to make my own bread (whole wheat with wheat germ added - but don't do this now that such good bread is ready made!) and to recycle everything I could - and that was in 1971!
