Folate intake, alcohol and risk of breast cancer among postmenopausal women in Denmark
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
There is consistent evidence that alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer. It has been suggested that the increased risk associated with alcohol intake may be reduced by adequate intake of folate. Since many women consume alcohol, detection of a risk-reducing mechanism would have major public health implications.
