No significant association was seen between sticking to a Mediterranean diet and overall risk of breast cancer or ER-positive breast cancer. The researchers found following a Mediterranean diet was indeed associated with a reduction in breast cancer risk – but only for ER-negative breast cancer. As well as looking at all types of breast cancer together, the researchers looked at different types of breast cancer separately. However, the researchers found women whose diet was most like a Mediterranean diet were 40% less likely to develop one particular type of breast cancer: oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Overall, there was no link between a Mediterranean diet and breast cancer risk.
