“The intake of the children was associated with significantly reduced risk for breast cancer in our study,” said Dr… Larissa Korde of National Cancer Institute, whose study appears in the journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention?

Historically, the rates of breast cancer among white women in the United States are four to seven times higher than that of women in China or Japanese, said Regina Ziegler of the National Institute of Cancer.

But when the Asian women migrate to the United States, its risk to breast cancer increases over several generations, which suggests something more than genetics is at stake, Dr.. Korde and his colleagues, assessed two factors to see if it were the diet or lifestyle which could explain the differences.

He met nearly 1600 women of Chinese origin, Japanese and Filipino who lived in San Francisco, Oakland, or Los Angeles, California or Hawaii, of which 600 already had breast cancer and the rest were healthy.
