Quick Glance: Nutrition for Strong Breasts
  • Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and cabbage are rich in vitamins A and C, acting as antioxidants that can reduce the risk of breast cancer. It is recommended to sauté or blanch these vegetables to retain the maximum nutrients. Additionally, antioxidants should be obtained from food rather than supplements.

  • Flax seeds have more lignans than any other food and are high in omega-3 fatty acids. These plant compounds contain fiber and the antioxidant phytoestrogen, which may prevent the formation of estrogen-stimulated breast cancer. It is advised to incorporate flax seeds (not flaxseed oil) into yogurt, oatmeal, salads, soups, smoothies, and muffins.

  • Turmeric has been used for centuries to combat inflammation and early research suggests it may have two significant benefits in fighting breast cancer. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, could potentially halt breast cancer spread and reduce chemotherapy damage. However, further research is necessary to validate these findings in human subjects.

  • Foods such as tomatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes contain carotenoids, which are converted into vitamin A and may lower the risk of certain types of breast cancer. However, more research is required to confirm this potential connection.

Quick Glance: Alzheimer's Drug Uptake Hindered by Doctors' Skepticism in US
  • The first drug to slow the progression of Alzheimer's, Leqembi by Eisai and Biogen, is facing resistance in the US from doctors who believe the treatment is futile.

  • The requirements of Leqembi, such as additional diagnostic tests, twice-monthly infusions, and regular brain scans, have led to slow adoption as many doctors express concerns about efficacy, cost, and risks.

  • Despite FDA approval and proven benefits in clinical trials, many doctors still have reservations about Leqembi, hindering the widespread use of the drug.

  • The companies behind Leqembi are working to improve physician and patient education to increase acceptance of the medication, aiming to treat 100,000 patients by 2026.
