Despite mounting evidence that dietary polyphenols might have a protective role against the
risk of breast cancer (BC), few studies have assessed the relationship between intake of …

Polyphenols are a wide family of phytochemicals present in diverse foods. They might play a
role in cancer development and progression. In vivo and in vitro studies have suggested …

The aim was to investigate the association between pre-diagnostic intakes of polyphenol
classes (flavonoids, lignans, phenolic acids, stilbenes, and other polyphenols) in relation to …

Studies of the association between polyphenols dietary intake and breast cancer risk have
been limited due to the lack of detailed food composition tables. In addition, none has …

Lignans are plant compounds metabolized in the mammalian gut to produce the
phytoestrogens enterolactone and enterodiol. Because estrogens have been linked to …

There is limited evidence of phenolic compounds acting as protective agents on several
cancer types, including breast cancer (BC). Nevertheless, some polyphenol classes have …

Phenolic compounds (eg, flavonoids, lignans, stilbenes, and phenolic acids) are plant
metabolites found in fruits, legumes, spices, tea, wine, cocoa, and coffee and may contribute …

Polyphenol intake may mitigate cancer risk but this depends on cancer site, the subgroup of
compounds under study, and accurate assessment of dietary exposure. Further work must …

Evidence on the association between dietary flavonoids and lignans and breast cancer (BC)
risk is inconclusive, with the possible exception of isoflavones in Asian countries. Therefore …

Phytoestrogens are structurally similar to estrogens and may affect breast cancer risk by
mimicking estrogenic/antiestrogenic properties. In Western societies, whole grains and …
