Oncologist Dr. Sue Hwang, who treated hundreds of breast‑cancer patients, was diagnosed with the disease at 46. The experience prompted her to reassess her own health habits and she now advocates four key practices to lower risk: cut processed foods, exercise at least 30 minutes daily, manage stress, and keep regular medical check‑ups. In a book released Jan. 20, Hwang explains that breast cancer is non‑discriminatory and that a combination of lifestyle factors-rather than a single cause-underlies the rise in young‑adult cases. She stresses that a plant‑based, nutrient‑dense diet, free of ultraprocessed sugar, salt and added fats, can help prevent cellular damage linked to cancer. Her message, shared via Business Insider and other outlets, urges patients to adopt consistent healthy habits to curb the growing incidence of breast cancer among younger people.
