A large study conducted in China found that women who consumed more of a plant-based diet saw lower rates of breast cancer than those who veered more to meats and starches. Analyzing the diets and the eventual incidence of breast cancer of 34,000 postmenopausal women, researchers from Colorado State University attribute the lowered incidence of breast cancer to the intake of fruits and vegetables—the greater the intake, the lower the risk. The study appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
