The incidence of breast cancer has been gradually increasing since the age of 30, reaching its peak after 50, and then gradually decreasing. The age of onset of breast cancer in Chinese women is 10 years earlier than in western countries.

Dietary advice for preventing breast cancer

World renowned nutritionists, epidemiologists and oncologists were enlisted by the world cancer research fund in conjunction with the American cancer institute to launch food, nutrition and cancer prevention, a 22-year study recommended as a milestone in scientific research in the food and nutrition community.
