We shall one day overcome breast cancer. I personally believe that diet plays a very significant role in this as well as other types of cancers. When we look at the lungs, breast, colon or several other areas of the body we find that the major tissues are the connective tissues, collagen and elastin. These tissues provide the strength, elasticity, and support for all of these areas. There is a need for adequate amino acids lysine and proline along with Vitamin C to ensure these tissues are properly maintained as one goes through life or when the tissues are damaged for any reason. If they are in a deteriorated state the risk of cancer is increased significantly and this in turn requires a nutritionally adequate diet as a preventive measure. The foods found to provide most adequately for these needs are found among those foods that contain cholesterol along with the numerous other nutrients not found in abundance if the diet is primarily fruits, vegetables, grains, soy, etc. I am a firm believer of whole milk, meats, eggs, bacon, butter, etc as the foods that can provide adequately.
This is based upon the USDA SR 23 Nutrient Database and the USDA report on Choline which can be found on their web site.
