Abstract:
What's new? Differences exist between African‐American and European‐American women when it comes to breast cancer. But while these differences may be explained in part by nutritional factors, such as intake of folate and other methyl‐group nutrients, few studies have explored this possibility. Here, an inverse association was found between natural food folate intake and breast cancer risk in premenopausal and estrogen receptor (ER)‐positive African Americans. By comparison, a positive association was found for synthetic folate intake in European Americans. Thus, race, menopausal and ER status, and folate source may influence a possible link between folate intake and breast cancer risk.
