Hi @pearl the question you posed did turn into a bit of a merrygo round.
What needs to be made clearer are the benefits of a high calcium diet for both bc and mbc people. Foods rich in calcium not just dairy products are vital to our continued bone health .Dairy sources are some of the richest source . What also is important is that if calium is to work in building our bones it requires vitaminD to do this. Calcium is also important for heart heart function.
If we have been diagnosed with hormone positive bc / mbc the drug group AI such as leterzole will effect not just our production of estrogen but a side effect is usually bone depletion....
So we have to increase our calcium , anti oxidant s and vitamin D .
As well there many vitamins and minerals which aid the immune ssytem
so we all should be reading widely
I have been following the us site breastcancer .org which had some interesting and valuable nutrition studies to reflect on
Sometimes people can spread misinformation ...i hope that by posting questions and requesting help we will make wise choices about the food we eat.
Alcohol perhaps is another one that has an effect or impact on estrogen level ....check out the site for comments on this
Personally i consume alcohol in moderation and am trying to not consume every day .
Cheers Bright
