NBC's In Depth and ABC's A Closer Look each chose breast cancer prevention for its topic, ABC on what to do to cut the odds of getting a tumor in the first place, NBC on what patients should eat to avoid a recurrence after treatment. NBC's Robert Bazell reminded us of previous research that showed that five daily portions of fruits and vegetables are helpful in preventing a second lump; a new study has found that five is enough--excessive gorging on veggies does not further increase their protective efficacy. ABC's John McKenzie (subscription required) listed three lifestyle factors that will certainly improve a woman's chances of keeping her breasts cancer free and one possible one: the latter may be to add extra olive oil to the diet; the former consist of avoiding stuff--Hormone Replacement Therapy, excessive alcohol and overweight fat.
