i heard somewhere that if you drink cow milk, you have a better chance of getting it i know it's somewhat hereditary but try to drink soymilk instead! good luck!
2 :
try not to drink large amounts of alcohol, stay away from smoking and second hand smoking, oral contraceptives give a high risk for breast cancer , try not to eat BBQ food in large quantities because they contain Aromatic Polycyclic hydrocarbons that cause breast cancer, eat fish rich in Omega fatty acids at least 3 times a week, don't drink milk with hormone in it, or chicken with hormones or antibiotics, do plenty of excercise , eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and since you are at high risk of developing breast cancer , do frequent self breast exams and mamogram 1 a year. hope this helps, good luck and stay healthy.

There are too many ways to prevent it but you can watch your what you eat, exercise, start getting examined early as possible. Stay away from unnecessary Hormones(HRT drugs) You may also ask about genetic testing to see if you have the breast cancer gene. In the most extreme cases you can elect to have your breast removed which will rid your body of all breast tissue and lower your changes to something like 5% or lower. This percent comes from the fact that when the reconstrute your breast they do use some tissue like your nipples etc. I don't know if I would go that far but that is all I have to share on the issue. Hope you stay healthy
