A: No. There are two things going on here. One is the likelihood that the relationship is true and another is the strength of the relationship. Although we think the relationship between vegetables and breast cancer is real, the impact isn't huge.
There isn't a lot about diet, weight, etc., that has a big impact on breast cancer. I'm sure we're missing something, but we haven't yet worked out what is going on. There's no question that gaining weight after menopause raises the risk. And we know that hormones and reproduction are really important because women who start puberty early or go through menopause late have a higher risk, and women who bear children at a young age have a lower risk. Rapid growth in childhood and adolescence also raise the risk.
