Nutrition has been widely studied as a leading environmental factor in the prevention of breast cancer (BC). Despite the challenges in relating consumption of specific nutrients to BC risk, particularly in the context of a total diet, many investigators have contributed valuable information. This article summarizes dietary factors and cancer risk associations and makes specific dietary recommendations to reduce risk of specific cancers. These include reducing alcohol and animal fat and increasing the intake of vegetables, fruit and fiber and, lately, phytoestrogens.
