Summary
New research shows that women who stick to a diet rich in beta-carotenes and cruciferous vegetables are less at risk to develop breast cancer. Foods high in beta-carotene are usually yellow or orange in color, baby carrots being one of the best sources. Broccoli, cabbage, radishes, turnips and cauliflower are all in the cruciferous family, and contain healthy levels of indole-3-carbinol, which lowers a potentially harmful form of estrogen.
