Hi Kylie. My understanding is the only connection between food and breast cancer is that if you are overweight it increases your risk. And I think that's because fat cells produce estrogen and as 70% of breast tumours are ER+ being overweight provides a cancer with a steady supply of food.
At a basic level, all food we put into our body is broken down to glucose, and all our cells use that to grow. Doesn't matter if it's a chocolate eclair or a celery stick, it all ends up as glucose.
I'm open to hard evidence, so am happy to learn otherwise. If doing a particular diet makes you happy, go for it, but at this stage I wouldn't put too much tumour fighting store in any diet. K xox
