Plant Estrogen May Cut Breast Cancer

A diet rich in estrogen-like compounds found in flaxseed, tea, and many plants may help curb breast cancer after menopause.
That's according to a French study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
The study included about 58,000 postmenopausal French women who were followed for an average of more than seven years.
When the study began between 1993 and 1997, the women were in their early 50s, on average, and didn't have breast cancer. They completed surveys about their diet and lifestyle, including how often they consumed 208 foods and beverages.
Researchers included Francoise Clavel-Chapelon, PhD, of France's Institut National de le Sante et de la Recherche (INSERM), which is France's institute for biological, medical, and public health research.
