Beans & Breast Cancer: The Nutrition Research + How to Start | Not Today Cancer

Can beans really lower your cancer risk? In this episode of Not Today Cancer, we break down the research on beans, breast cancer, and longevity — and exactly how to start eating them without the bloat.

After my own diagnosis I moved to a whole food plant-based diet, slowly, and beans became the hero of the story. My partner Darren joins me — and the twist is he barely changed his diet at all, which is kind of the point: you don't have to overhaul everything.

In this episode we cover:

• The study linking high bean-fiber intake to ~25% lower breast cancer risk

• Why soy is safe (and reassuring) for breast cancer survivors

• Beans, colorectal cancer, and the power of dietary fiber

• What beans do for cholesterol, blood sugar, and type 2 diabetes risk

• The Blue Zones longevity connection

• How to start slow without gas or bloating

• Simple beginner bean recipes to try this week
