No idea. I found a page that had a list of things to avoid and it was on there. I was surprised. I'm not sure how much it is based on scientific evidence. I was feeling frustrated that there is so much conflicting information. But also, body chemistries and breast cancer are different in different people, I suppose - so I'm not sure how you ever really know.

I also felt I was eating pretty well when I was diagnosed. We don't eat out a lot and don't eat a lot of carbs. The only difference was maybe too much red meat, so I'm backing that down. I make the majority t of my own meals and even salad dressings. I feel like something I really need to deal with is my stress level. I had been at a very high stress level for a few years and feel like I could have had extremely high cortisol. That is something I'm really working on.
