Red meat boosts breast cancer risk, legumes cut the risk
Harvard researchers followed 88,803 women in the Nurses' Health Study II for 20 years and found high red meat intake in early adulthood tied to 22% higher breast cancer risk. Swapping a daily serving of red meat for legumes was linked to 15% lower risk, poultry to 17%.

Dietary sugar, fiber affect breast cancer risk
A Malaysian case-control study of 382 breast cancer patients and 382 controls found women in the highest quartile of added sugar intake were twice as likely to have breast cancer, while those eating the most fiber were 70% less likely. Starch showed no link.

Tree nuts good for type 2 diabetics
A meta-analysis of dietary trials in 450 patients found 56 grams of tree nuts a day matched a 0.07 percent drop in HbA1c and a 0.15 mmol/L fall in fasting glucose, with no clear effect on fasting insulin or HOMA-IR. The authors want longer, higher-quality trials to confirm it.

Increased coffee intake linked to reduced diabetes mellitus risk
Across three US cohorts totalling about 123,700 people, raising coffee intake by more than a cup a day over four years went with 11 percent lower type 2 diabetes risk in the next four years, while cutting back by more than a cup went with 17 percent higher risk. Tea changes showed no link.
