As a breast surgeon who was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 40, I feel strongly about raising awareness of lifestyle factors that could reduce risk of the disease.
This Daily Mail article highlights that while diet is not the main cause of breast cancer, cutting out alcohol can significantly reduce your risk (by up to 60%).

Beyond alcohol reduction, the article suggests a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and grains as a preventative measure.
