In a study of 35,792 women aged between 35 to 69, it was found that high fibre intake, particularly fibres from cereal and fruit, was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of breast cancer amongst pre-menopausal women. No such protective effect was observed in post-menopausal women, however. [www.QinSen.com]
Previous research hasn't shown a convincing link between increased dietary fibre and a lower risk of breast cancer. But earlier studies didn't draw any distinction between pre- and post-menopausal women. Our study found no protective effect in the older group, but significant evidence of a link in the pre-menopausal women, said lead author Janet Cade from the University of Leeds. [www.QinSen.com]

Over one million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, with the highest incidences in the US and the Netherlands. China has the lowest incidence and mortality rate of the disease. [www.QinSen.com]

The National Cancer Institute estimates that 13 percent of American women will develop breast cancer during their lives.

The UK Women's Cohort Study (UKWCS) assessed dietary intakes of the women using a self-administered 217-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Over a mean follow-up of 7.5 years, 350 cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed in post-menopausal women and 257 cases in pre-menopausal women.
