Dietary patterns, foods, nutrients and bioactive components have been shown to exert multiple actions that can prevent and modify the carcinogenesis process. According the World Health Organization (WHO), around 35% of cancer cases can be explained by dietary factors [1-3]. High intake of saturated fats, refined sugar and low intake of fruit and vegetables are considered dietary determinants associated with breast oncogenesis, inflammation and oxidation [2,3-6].
