Cheese may raise breast cancer risk, but yogurt could reduce it stat : Medical News Today

This reduction in breast cancer risk was primarily attributable to a high yogurt intake; women who consumed high amounts of yogurt were found to have a 39 percent lower risk of developing breast cancer. Senior author Christine Ambrosone, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Cancer Prevention and ControlLearn how changes in immune cell composition might influence breast cancer risk. Researchers suggest that a high intake of certain cheeses, such as cheddar, may raise women's risk of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, after skin cancer. Researchers have found that eating high amounts of cheddar and cream cheeses may increase women's risk of breast cancer, but a high intake of yogurt may reduce risk of the disease.




"Using the web should allow people to get this therapy even if they could not or would not attend in-person therapy," Rini added. (Reuters Health) - - Internet-based psychotherapy focused on changing behavior may be tied to improved body image and sexual functioning in breast cancer survivors, a recent study suggests. For the study, women in the treatment group could participate in up to 24 weekly sessions guided by a therapist. "This is particularly important because the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in this population is two to three times higher than in the general population," Aaronson said. The current study, however, is the first to evaluate and confirm the effectiveness of this type of treatment for sexual dysfunction in female breast cancer survivors, Aaronson added by email.


It's important to note that the study found only an association between an inflammatory diet and the risk of breast cancer, and cannot prove that this type of diet caused the women's breast cancer. Eating an "inflammatory diet" as a teen may increase a woman's risk of breast cancer, a new study suggests. The researchers did not find a link between an inflammatory diet and the risk of breast cancer after menopause. Many factors affect a woman's risk of breast cancer, including her genetic predisposition to the disease, as well as other demographic and lifestyle factors. Women who consumed inflammatory diets during their 20s, 30 and 40s were also at increased risk of breast cancer before menopause.
