The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.

Strawberries are scrumptious, delicious, gorgeous, and nutritious. Strawberries are rich and excellent source of folic acid, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, B5, B6, C and K. Strawberries may be the most effective of the five most commonly consumed berries at eliminating cancer cells, according to a recent study conducted at the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. The researchers tested extracts of six berries - strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black raspberries, blackberries and cranberries - to determine their ability to induce cancer cell death. Plant estrogen intake, such as from soy products, in early adolescence may protect against breast cancer later in life.

When I came to know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month through HealthNut, I started reading topics relating to breast cancer. Most commonly available strawberries and soy products, if consumed or included in our daily routine diet plan can help us to be fit and fine. So the recipe Vegan Strawberry Milkshake. As we all know 'Prevention is better than cure'.
