Research News on Nutrition

It can be confusing to read all the stories in the media about certain foods or supplements and how they might help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Or how weight and diet can affect the body's ability to recover from disease. Nutrition is a young science -- researchers are just starting to understand how nutrients interact with each other and with the body's immune system. Each new study fills in another small piece of knowledge.

When studies about the effects of nutrition on breast cancer risk are published, Breastcancer.org publishes articles about the results and offers practical information on how the findings may affect YOU and your lifestyle.

These articles are part of the Breastcancer.org Research News program. Each month, our experts examine recent breast cancer research for exciting advances, important updates, and changes in how breast cancer is treated and diagnosed.

We present these studies in easy-to-understand language, explaining their importance and what impact the results might have for YOU.
