A member asked:
Does taking a collagen supplement like collagen powder increase the risk of breast cancer? i have a family history of breast cancer.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No relationship: A diet rich in collagen is unrelated to breast cancer. With a positive family history you might need examinations more often than your peers. Hopefully you have dodged this bullet.
