The traditional diet of Greece and cancer.

[RobinP]

I just found this article to have sound physiological reasons for why diet and lifestyle MAY help to prevent breast cancer. I think that some of us, with some of the worse genes, would still get bc no matter what, then others may benifit from lifestyle changes. Personally, I think one of the biggest reasons for bc since the 1940s has been due to environmental estrogen drugs found in food and in human medication sources such as the pill, oxytocin, plastics, HRT for the older than 50 yr. old,etc. Still, that doesn't mean that a good diet may help to prevent or lessen the aggressieness of the bc.

Foods alter the way we express our genes (switch on and the number we switch on and where) and that includes Her2 BRAC1 etc.

Expression can be dramatically changed by diet.

The China Study a book by T Colin Campbell about $25US makes thought provoking reading.
