Tip #9: Chard
Research has proved that women decrease breast cancer risk by consuming higher amounts of natural carotenoids (vitamin A precursors) in foods. Chard is especially high in natural carotenoids: one cup of cooked chard provides more than double the daily requirement for vitamin A, with no risk of overdose. Steam it lightly until wilted, it can taste bitter if overcooked.

Wow! I just wrote about a new diet book targeted for women who have (or had) breast cancer called the Pink Ribbon diet. The foods that are recommended are very similar to that of the Mediterranean Diet: rich in vitamins/minerals, EFAs, detoxifying, minimizes visceral fat etc.
I just want to add that I cook with tofu quite often, and basically grew up eating it - funny I hated it as a kid but love it now. I've got a delicious recipe I invented for what I call "Tofu Steaks", mmm...
