And one such dietary modification that can help you to reduce your risk of breast cancer is eating eggs. But given the fact that egg yolk is rich in cholesterol, most people end up eating egg white rather than egg yolk or omit eggs from the diet. Well, the trick here is moderation as anything in excess can land you in trouble increasing your risk of various health problems.
Egg consumption and breast cancer risk: a meta-analysis
Australian researchers have shown for the first time that a new drug used to treat breast cancer patients damages the store of immature eggs in the ovaries of mice. Women are born with a finite number of follicles in their ovaries and during their reproductive lifespan some of the eggs or oocytes will start to grow to the stage at which they are released from the ovaries and can be fertilised by sperm. Olaparib has not been used on young women long enough to see how it affects their fertility, so this study in mice is an important indication of its effects. The storage of primordial follicles, and the processes of activation, growth and ovulation are all the same. But we know this is an important and valid concern of young cancer patients and survivors, particularly as survival rates for many cancers are improving.
Fries or fruit? Your food choices really do make a difference in your cancer risk, it turns out. According to the American Cancer Society, a whopping 40 percent of all cancers may be linked to lifestyle factors like this.
