DESCRIPTION: Inadequate fiber intake appears to be a risk factor for breast cancer, which can explain why women eating plant-based diets may be at lower risk. Yes, but how might fiber intake lower breast cancer risk? Basically the same way Fiber Lowers Cholesterol (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-fiber-lowers-cholesterol/). See my video Relieving Yourself of Excess Estrogen (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/relieving-yourself-of-excess-estrogen/). Mushroom consumption (Breast Cancer vs. Mushrooms http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-vs-mushrooms/), nuts (Tree Nuts or Peanuts for Breast Cancer Prevention? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/tree-nuts-or-peanuts-for-breast-cancer-prevention/), green tea and soy (Why Do Asian Women Have Less Breast Cancer? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-do-asian-women-have-less-breast-cancer/), crucifers (Broccoli Versus Breast Cancer Stem Cells http://nutritionfacts.org/video/broccoli-versus-breast-cancer-stem-cells/), and greens (Preventing Breast Cancer By Any Greens Necessary http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-breast-cancer-by-any-greens-necessary/) may be particularly protective.

The comparison of fiber intakes by diet could certainly help explain why vegans are such regular people (see the ending of Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes-vs-metamucil-vs-vegan-diet/).
