The main sources here in this breast cancer recipe fighter are lemons (1 mg. per fruit), bell peppers (1 mg. per cup), and mint (about 6 mg. per ounce).
Other starring ingredients in this breast cancer recipe are;
Beans, contribute fiber and folate (women with a high level of this B vitamin are about 30 percent less likely to get breast cancer), and onions offer quercetin (a potent anti cancer compound).

A recent study shows that in pre-menopausal women, diets high in animal fat, such as that found in red meat and ice cream, raise the risk of breast cancer.

New Swedish research found that breast cancer risk declines with a low fat, high fibre diet.
For additional fat free fibre, mango salsa and a small whole wheat tortilla round out the meal.
