What you eat can possibly save your life, or can it? There is a new study that claims eating a single mushroom a day may keep breast cancer at bay (any variety, including dried mushrooms). The International Journal of Cancer found that women who consumed the fungi were 64% less likely to develop cancer than those who didn’t. Dr. Min Zhang, a research associate professor of epidermology at the University of Western Australia claims “Mushrooms contain compounds that may suppress the production of estrogen, a hormone that promotes breast tumor growth”. Next time you cook, considering a mushroom or two into your stir fry, soup or casserole. It can’t hurt!
