Dietary Prevention of Breast Cancer

The most common type of cancer found in women is Breast Cancer. Approximately one in nine women will develop this disease in their lifetime. Although much has been said concerning survival through early detection, relatively little attention has been paid to prevention.

Regular exercise and avoidance of obesity are key lifestyle factors in prevention. Nutrition, in particular a diet low in fat and high in fiber, also plays a pivital role. Dietary fiber and antioxidant supplementation may provide a practical means for many Americans to attain these goals.
