Diet & breast CA: The research on diet & breast ca is mixed. It's possible that cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, etc may help: http://www.Cancer.Gov/cancertopics/factsheet/diet/cruciferous-vegetables more than anything, eating whole foods, limiting/eliminating alcohol, exercising regularly, and not smoking may be our best bets -- aside from selecting our parents better!

Unclear: There is not clear evidence that certain foods prevent cancer (despite several claims) however not eating certain foods will decrease your cancer rate! obesity is linked with increased cancer rates.
