Luz, Maria's advice and links are very helpful; try to take the time to read them. In general, a lower-fat diet, with no or very little alcohol, is good for breast cancer prevention. NO DIET will guarantee you won't get cancer; but eating less fat, especially saturated fat, and consuming little or no alcohol, will help. Just as important - EXERCISE. Good luck- PJH
