ARTICLES: Grapefruit Risk of Breast Cancer? Recurrent Miscarriages From: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sat, 29 Mar 2008 11:35:43 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Hope Waltman: "ONCOLOGY: Ovarian Cancer Progression And Apoptosis" Previous message: William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG: "Re: YOUNGWOMEN: Been on depo for 8 yrs and had no idea!!" http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/101830.php Trying Again After Recurrent Miscarriages "About one in every 100 women of reproductive age will experience recurrent pregnancy loss, the Times reports. The causes of recurrent miscarriage often are unclear, and 50% to 75% of couples experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss "will have no certain diagnosis," according to a recent report by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists." The Claim: Grapefruit Can Increase the Risk of Breast Cancer "According to the Times, a recent e-mail chain has created some concern about a possible link between consumption of grapefruit and increased risk of breast cancer. Two studies published in the British journal Cancer have found conflicting results on the issue. A 2007 study published in the journal found a 30% increased risk of breast cancer among postmenopausal women who ate about half a grapefruit every other day, even after other risk factors for the disease were considered. Researchers in the study said an enzyme in grapefruit called CYP 3A4, which can increase estrogen levels, could account for the increased risk. A study published in the journal this year that followed 77,000 women ages 30 to 55 did not find an increased risk of breast cancer among women who consumed grapefruit or grapefruit juice. Experts from the American Cancer Society said the studies lacked sufficient evidence to change recommendations on grapefruit consumption but said concerned women could reduce their consumption of grapefruit (O'Connor, New York Times, 3/25)." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/25/health/25real.html?_r=1&oref=slogin Regards, Hope Waltman, Fibroid Forum and WH Forum Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org http://www.doctorsinfoweb.com/doctors/whatsnew.htm http://www.obgyn.net/fibroid-resource-center/ Next message: Hope Waltman: "ONCOLOGY: Ovarian Cancer Progression And Apoptosis" Previous message: William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG: "Re: YOUNGWOMEN: Been on depo for 8 yrs and had no idea!!"
