DISEASE AND SURGERY – THE BRA/BREAST CANCER CONNECTION (FOOD)
The bottom line? There is simply no definitive evidence that bras cause breast cancer, fortunately, there are other
things women can do to reduce their risk…
• Eat more soy foods. Tofu, tempeh, miso and soy milk all contain plant estrogens (phytoestrogens). These weak hormones inhibit the body’s own production of estrogen, which may provide the “fuel” for breast cancer growth.
Neither soy oil nor soy sauce contain significant amounts of phytoestrogens.
Eat cruciferous vegetables. Broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and kale affect estrogen metabolism in a beneficial way.
Think twice about estrogen-replacement therapy. It’s reasonable to use estrogen temporarily to treat hot flashes and vaginal dryness. But in general, long-term estrogen therapy is not a good idea. Estrogen can increase the risk of breast cancer.
