Food and drink containing phenolic acids could help defend against post-menopausal breast cancer.
Researchers split the women into three groups according to their intake of phenolic acids.
Chlorogenic acids, a type of hydroxycinnamic acid found in coffee, fruits, and vegetables had the strongest effect and those eating the most of those had a 65% reduced risk compared with those consuming the least.The study was led by a team from the University of Navarra and the University of Jaen in Spain.
Dr Kotryna Temcinaite, research communications manager at Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Now, said:"We've long known that eating fruit and vegetables as part of a balanced diet can help lower your risk of breast cancer by helping you maintain a healthy weight.
