A fiber-rich diet could potentially reduce a woman's risk for breast cancer. According to UPI, eating high-fiber foods was found to reduce the risk of the disease by 8% overall. Researchers found that eating soluble fiber resulted in a 10% reduction and eating insoluble fiber reduced risk by 7%. According to the study, the findings are consistent for both pre- and post-menopausal women. The American Cancer Society doesn't recommend a specific amount of daily fiber intake. They do however suggest a diet rich in fruits and vegetables at every meal and whole-grains.
