Breast Cancer & the Importance of Vegetables | Dr. Sara Gottfried & Dr. Andrew Huberman

I recently gave a lecture on breast cancer risk reduction . And I was sad to find that intake of vegetables polyphenols is such an important predictor of future risk of breast cancer . Like when you're at 5060 plus .

And I have another daughter who eats food , that's beige and it's very hard to get her to eat the volume of vegetables , you know , five colors a day , which is what I do . And if you have evidence that you could show a 17 year old that they've got micronutrient gaps , I think that would be a motivator for them to eat differently at a time when it's so critical , even though it's , you know , 25 years in the future that it's going to potentially change this arc that they're on . What do you do for a young woman who doesn't like vegetables is or is not somehow able or willing to , to get those five colors a day of vegetable to help support the microbiome , you know , are supplements , uh a useful tool in that case .
