Scientists: A Vegetarian Diet Can Reduce Breast Cancer Risk

A new scientific study reinforces what we’ve been saying for some time now: Adopting a vegetarian diet can improve your health—and quite possibly save your life.

According to the new study, which was conducted by the American Journal of Epidemiology, women who consume a lot of vegetables may enjoy a significantly decreased risk of breast cancer. Plant-based foods are typically low in saturated fat and high in fiber and phytochemicals, which knock out carcinogens and fight inflammation.

Besides being good for you, following a vegetarian diet is also a super easy way to help prevent animals from suffering and dying so that they can be made into spare ribs, drumsticks, or nuggets (talk about gross).
