ImpactModerate impact

The discussion indicates that the findings are seen as potentially influential, especially given the mention of dietary habits and health implications.

Abstract in brief

  • Higher diet-dependent acid load, measured by the PRAL score, is linked to an increased risk of developing breast cancer, especially for estrogen receptor-negative and triple-negative types.
  • The study found that diets resulting in higher acid load (more protein and phosphorus, less potassium, calcium, magnesium) are associated with higher breast cancer risk, while alkaline diets with lower acid load are associated with a reduced risk.
  • The findings suggest that consuming more fruits and vegetables and less meat, which lowers diet acid load, may help protect against certain aggressive forms of breast cancer.

Cancer and alkaline diets. Many sites say there's no evidence so it's a myth, but then there's this large study from 2019 .. https://t.co/2TvME7hi9h ..
