English Summary: |
This
study looked at the relationship between diet and
benign breast disease among Mexican women. There were
a total of 121 women matched with women without breast
disease and compared diet and reproductive factors.
The consumption of fruit and diary products were associated
with a lower risk of benign breast disease. In addition
those women who consumed more of the vitamin b12 also
had a lowered risk of benign breast disease. The b12
vitamin then is associated with a risk reduction of
breast disease. |
