Dr. Steven Quay calls for nutritional guidelines for adolescent girls to reduce future breast cancer
SEATTLE, Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Physician-Scientist Dr. Steven Quay, MD, PhD is calling for nutritional guidelines for adolescent girls to reduce processed and fast-food consumption during puberty to prevent future breast cancer. His recommendation is based on recent research showing a link between consumption of a particular set of chemicals produced by the high temperatures used to fry or grill foods that have a high level of sugars and the induction of pre-cancerous changes during pubertal breast development.
