PERTH, Australia—Data from a study conducted in southeast China suggests that women who consume more mushrooms and green tea in their diets may have a lower risk of developing breast cancer.
The case-controlled study followed more than 2,000 women and concluded that higher dietary intake of mushrooms decreased breast cancer risk in pre- and postmenopausal Chinese women. An additional decreased risk of breast cancer from joint effect of mushrooms and green tea was observed.
The findings were published in the March 15, 2009 issue of the International Journal of Cancer.
