Can Your Diet Reduce Your Breast Cancer Risk?

I really appreciate this article, because I am often frustrated by the competing sensationalized tidbits of cancer news I glean from the media. It seems like they're always coming up with something new that is either going to give you cancer or prevent you from getting cancer. The true answer is a complicated gray. It is pretty obvious what you should do to be healthy--eat well, exercise, and get regular check-ups. But some people are predisposed to certain cancers, so there's only so much we can do.

Thanks for the great food list. It's nice to know that I'm already doing something good for myself already!

There never are any easy answers and it's frustrating trying to follow sensationalized and sometimes conflicting advice. There is no magic bullet for cancer - some people eat well, exercise, and do all the "right" things and still get cancer. Some people smoke and eat bacon everyday and never get sick. People are always looking for quick, easy answers to replace common sense. You can't control anything but what you do - so just eat well, exercise, and pay attention to your health. I would think that is really the only way you (personally) can potentially thwart any disease; the rest is up to God.
