How to minimize risk of breast cancer and other such things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few things: A few things can potentially reduce your risk. These include taking Vitamin D3, 1000 IU per day. Also there was an abstract published in I think it was in 2003 or 2004 at The American Society of Clinical Oncology stating a baby ASA can reduce a women's risk. There is some anecdotal data that Turmeric can reduce risk but it has never been studied. Hope this helps.
