Are there steps i can take to prevent getting fibrocystic breast disease?

Fibrocystic breasts: Avoid or minimize cheese, coffee, chocolates, and drinks with high caffeine. An extra vitamin E daily would help.

No: You can not control the amount of fibrocystic breast tissue that you develop. You can control, to a great extent, the symptoms you have from that tissue. It is well known that caffeine will cause the fibrocystic tissue to retain fluid, which will increase breast pain and tenderness in many women. It is also well known that vitamin E will minimize that breast tenderness for the majority of women.
