Breast Cancer and Food: What You Should Know

Food can play a significant role in determining whether or not a woman will get breast cancer.

It is estimated that more than 250,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with it this year, but on this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Neal Barnard who will teach you what you need to know to greatly reduce the risk of being one of them. Dr. Barnard will share the science of food, hormones and breast health from his book Your Body In Balance.

You will learn how fat, meat, dairy and other factors can increase the chances of developing breast cancer and the best diet and foods to lower the risk. Plus, you will learn why a woman is more likely to be diagnosed as she gets older and what can be done to improve the odds the diagnosis never comes.

Plus, dietician Lee Crosby shares the breast cancer scare she had at a young age. When doctors first found a lump in her breast she adopted a far healthier diet. For months the mass showed no signs of growth. However, when she returned to eating the standard American diet the next test revealed that the lump had doubled in size.

She and Dr. Barnard share what caused that to happen!
