Dietary flavonols and flavonol‐rich foods intake and the risk of breast cancer [PDF]

International Journal of Cancer, 2004
AbstractLaboratory and animal studies suggest that dietary flavonols may reduce breast cancer risk but there are limited epidemiological studies. We computed flavonol intakes from dietary data collected by validated food frequency questionnaires in 1991 and 1995 from 90,630 women in the Nurses Health Study II. Using multivariate relative risks (RR) and
