Study Design:
This overview article contained 8 case-control studies (2313 cases and 2387 controls) and 2 cohort studies (4577 cases and 1748623 persons years).
There was no question of publication bias.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found in a dose-dependent analysis linear relationship between eating mushrooms and the reduced risk of getting breast cancer.
The researchers found that eating every ounce mushrooms per day, the chance of getting breast cancer significantly with 3% [RR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.96-0.98, I2 = 56.3%, p = 0.015] reduced.
The researchers found that eating mushrooms the risk of getting breast cancer among premenopausal women significantly with 4% [RR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.91-1.00, I2 = 79.1%, p = 0.008] reduced.
The researchers found that eating mushrooms the risk of getting breast cancer among postmenopausal women significantly with 6% [RR = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.91-0.97, I2 = 0%, p = 0.408] reduced.
The researchers concluded that eating mushrooms reduced the chance of getting breast cancer.
