Description of Evidence
Added text to state that the potential role of specific micronutrients for breast cancer risk reduction have been examined in clinical trials, with cardiovascular disease and cancer as outcomes. Added text about the Women’s Antioxidant Cardiovascular Study (WACS) that examined total cancer and invasive breast cancer as secondary outcomes (cited Lin et al. as reference 136). Also added text to state that there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of total invasive cancer or invasive breast cancer between two subsets of WACS participants (cited Zhang et al. as reference 137).
