Fibre lowers breast cancer risk

The menopausal women who consume large quantities of fiber can halve the risk of breast cancer, a study of the United Kingdom has proposed.

Researchers at the University of Leeds have 35,000 women who ate 30 grams of fiber per day half of those who ate less than 20g.

You said that women trying to make their fibers.

The experts explained that the International Journal of Epidemiology was further evidence of the benefits of a healthy diet.

The average person in the United Kingdom eat 12g of fiber per day.

Eating 30 grams, is a strong person to eat cereal for breakfast, the change from brown or white bread for wholemeal and ensure that the five portions of fruit and vegetables per day.

A team from the University of Leeds Center for Epidemiology and Biostatistics, the dietary habits and health of more than 35,000 women from more than seven years.

69 to 35 years at the beginning of the study.

The diet has been using a 217-item food questionnaire.

Treatment

In contrast to other studies for the provision of fiber and the risk for breast cancer, women have a number of schemes, including groups that are entirely the vegetarians eat no red meat.

Slightly less than 16,000 women were pre-menopausal when they enter the study than 18,000 post-menopausal.

257 women in a breast cancer during the study, which was originally by the World Cancer Research Fund.

What proves that women have a higher percentage of energy from protein and a low dietary fiber and vitamin C, compared to women who do not develop cancer.

But the effect was not observed post-menopausal group, in which 350 breast cancer.

The researchers claim that this May, because of the fiber about the way the body and regulates the hormone estrogen.

Hormone levels are higher for women in menopause.

Early exposure

Professor Janet Cade, who heads the research, said: "Our study was no protective effect in the oldest age group, but significant evidence of a connection between women in the menopausal years.

"The exhibition in May early in life, which explains why the effect of protection is not in the group after the menopause.

He added: "Furthermore, the post-menopausal women with body mass index [, the overweight or obese] have an increased risk for breast cancer.

Professor Cade added: "The general strike, with the healthy diet recommendations to ensure that you have a lot of fiber in your diet with cereals, bread, pasta, fruit and vegetables."

Ed Yong, an official information on cancer Cancer Research UK said: "We already have consultants eat high fiber diet to reduce the risk of colon cancer. This study shows that this is to protect against breast cancer in young women."

He added: "Until now, evidence that the fiber May the risk of breast cancer has been inconsistent.

"This study is to think because everything through protection is limited to women before menopause.

"He also stresses the importance of eating a healthy diet to reduce the risk of cancer."
