I recently saw the report on NBC 11.com concerning food we eat and breast cancer risk. You stated that "a half cup of corn per day is shown in research to increase breast cancer risk 25%." Then you later gave recommended servings of certain foods and gave a percentage for how much they reduce your risk of breast cancer. Can you please provide me with the research studies you are getting this information from. It would be very helpful. Thanks! Leilani
