Nationally known as a nutrition expert in breast cancer treatment and prevention, Dina Khader offers these hormone-related breast cancer prevention tips:- Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and fish with the following exceptions -- limit tuna, swordfish and halibut, which contain high levels of mercury that weaken the immune system; avoid chickpeas, which can affect blood sugar or insulin levels; and stick to raw nuts because roasting nuts destroys the vitamin E content and changes the chemistry of the nut oils.

- Keep your home free of mold.
- Exercise in moderation.
