  • The study found that eating more total vegetables was especially associated with a decreased risk of estrogen receptor-negative tumors, as well as certain aggressive molecular subtypes like HER2-enriched, basal-like, and luminal A.
  • Overall, the results suggest that incorporating more fruits and vegetables into the diet could help reduce the likelihood of developing more aggressive forms of breast cancer.
