DESCRIPTION: Researchers pit plain white mushrooms against breast cancer cells in vitro to measure aromatase activity and estimate how many mushrooms women may want to strive to include in their daily diet.  Mushrooms appear to work in the lab to suppress breast cancer cell growth, but what about in the real world? That's the subject of tomorrow's video of the day Why Do Asian Women Have Less Breast Cancer? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-do-asian-women-have-less-breast-cancer/). The placenta study was profiled in my video Vegetables Versus Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vegetables-versus-breast-cancer/) and a comparison of the effects of different types of mushrooms can be found in Breast Cancer Prevention: Which Mushroom is Best? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-prevention-which-mushroom-is-best/). More on the magic of mushrooms in Making Our Arteris Less Sticky (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/making-our-arteries-less-sticky/) and Constructing a Cognitie Portfolio (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/constructing-a-cognitive-portfolio/). Probably a good idea to cook them, though: Toxins in Raw Mushrooms (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/toxins-in-raw-mushrooms/). I have more than five dozen videos on breast cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/breast-cancer/) and hundreds of videos on a thousand other health and wellness topics (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-vs-mushrooms/ and he'll try to answer it!
