Could eating vegetables reduce breast cancer risk?

by Yvette Brazier, MedicalNewsToday.com for  SouthFloridaReporter.com, Sept. 14, 2015 –Millions of women worldwide receive combined estrogen and progestin hormone replacement therapy to counter the unwanted effects of menopause. Yet studies are increasingly suggesting the use of such treatment may increase the risk of breast cancer. A new study shows that luteolin, present in vegetables such as celery, could counter this risk.

Scientists from the University of Missouri in Columbia claim that luteolin, which occurs naturally in herbs and vegetables, can slow the development of breast cancer caused by the combination of natural estrogen and synthetic progestin used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

The research was led by Salman Hayder, the Zalk Endowed Professor in tumor angiogenesis and professor of biomedical sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center, and published in Springer Plus.
