Background: Dietary patterns promoting chronic inflammation, including the empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP), have been associated with certain cancers. Investigating whether this dietary pattern is associated with breast cancer-where the role of inflammation is less well-defined-could provide valuable insights and potentially improve strategies for preventing this cancer.
Methods: We prospectively followed 76,386 women from Nurses' Health Study (NHS, 1984-2018) and 92,886 women from Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII, 1991-2019).
Debate persists regarding the potential carcinogenicity of aspartame as suggested by experimental studies. Therefore, we prospectively evaluated whether aspartame consumption is associated with breast cancer risk in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and Nurses' Health study II (NHSII). We used Cox models to calculate HRs and 95% CIs.

- The study investigates the relationship between the empirical dietary inflammation pattern score (EDIP) and mammographic density (MD), as well as the influence of body mass index (BMI) in this relationship.
- It included 4,145 participants from the Nurses' Health Study, assessing diet through questionnaires and measuring various MD parameters.
- Results showed an overall negative correlation between EDIP and percent MD, with a significant portion of this relationship explained by differences in BMI, while no strong links were found between EDIP and dense area or grayscale variation.
An association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and breast cancer risk has been reported. This association can be potentially explained by alteration of the insulin/IGF system. Therefore, we aimed to prospectively investigate whether a previously reported Dietary-Based Diabetes Risk Score (DDS) inversely associated with T2D was also associated with breast cancer risk in the SUN ("Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra") cohort.

We assessed the association between a previously defined carbohydrate quality index (CQI) and the risk of developing ORCs in the "Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra" (SUN) cohort.
Methods: A total of 18,446 Spanish university graduates [mean age 38 years (SD 12 years), 61% women, mean BMI 23.
