Owing to its interaction with alcohol, folate has been suggested to be a potential factor for
many types of cancer. The impact of these factors on the risk of breast cancer among Asian …

Low B-vitamin intake may increase risk of breast cancer through decreased DNA repair
capacity. Alcohol intake increases risk for breast cancer, with evidence from prospective …

Background: Several recent studies suggest that adequate dietary folate may attenuate the
risk of breast cancer associated with intake of alcohol. We examined whether the putative …

Background Alcohol increases breast cancer risk. Epidemiological studies suggest folate
may modify this relationship. Objective To examine the relationship among breast cancer …

Deficient dietary folate intake may predispose individuals to cancer as a consequence of
disruption of DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation (1, 2); diets deficient in methyl groups …

Background Epidemiologic findings are inconsistent concerning risk for breast cancer
associated with low folate intake or blood folate levels. We performed a meta-analysis of …

Objective: There is consistent evidence that alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer. It
has been suggested that the increased risk associated with alcohol intake may be reduced …

Alcohol intake is an established risk factor for breast cancer, but the underlying mechanism
remains unknown. Four recent studies have described interactions of alcohol and low folate …

Folate plays an important role in DNA methylation, and aberrant methylation of the estrogen
receptor (ER) gene may be related to the loss of ER gene expression in breast tumors. Thus …

Background: Many epidemiological studies have investigated the association between
folate intake, circulating folate level and risk of breast cancer; however, the findings were …
