Great food for thought. Regarding the differences in breast cancer rates btwn Western developed countries and "developing" countries and/or Japan, consumption of fresh veggies is just one of many important factors. Growth hormones in U.S. animal products, agrochemicals (many of those used in U.S. are long-banned in EU), GMO's, plastic wrap and plastic food containers galore, endless varieties of toxic household products, all are far more common in U.S. households and foods than Western Europe, Japan or especially developing countries. So we not only eat less veggies in the U.S. but probably need them more to counter all the other carcinogens we consume.

Thanks for writing!
