Breast Cancer Risk May Be Reduced by the Intake of Dietary Folate
Recently, researchers evaluated the effect of dietary folate intake on the relationship between alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk. Alcohol consumption is a known, moderate risk factor for breast cancer. Using data on diet and alcohol consumption gathered from a large number of women through the Melbourne collaborative cohort study from 1990-1994, the scientists concluded that an adequate dietary intake of folate might protect against the increased risk of breast cancer associated with alcohol consumption. Further research in this area would help to confirm these findings. Source: British Medical Journal, August 2005. Read More.
