My top breakfast go-to is usually oatmeal. What’s yours? Are you a cereal, an omelet, or even a smoothie person? Or do you just go straight for your coffee?
The reason I’m interested is because I recently came across a study that suggests a specific breakfast may have a positive effect on a woman’s risk of ovarian cancer. What is this specific breakfast? Well, it could be a black tea, a tall glass of 100% pure orange juice, and some grapefruit.
New research is showing that tea, citrus fruits and juices, and other foods and drinks with flavonoids can significantly lower the risk of ovarian cancer in young and middle-aged women.
Each year, about 20,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer, which is the fifth-leading cause of cancer death in women. More than 14,300 women died from ovarian cancer in 2011 (the most recent number we have).
