Diet is thought to affect the occurrence and progression of breast cancer while the exact relationship between diet and breast cancer remains largely unclear.This review aims to elucidate the association of specific foods with breast cancer and potential underlying mechanisms.For example,sulforaphane is inversely related to the disease while the impacts of soy and meat on breast cancer are disputable.To some extent,soy is a protective factor while red and processed meat is an adverse one.Due to heterogeneity of breast cancer,menopausal and estrogen receptor statuses can influence the diet-cancer relation.In brief,it may be reasonable to recommend breast cancer patients to eat high soy foods and cruciferous vegetables and low red and processed meat.
