Nutrition question for BRCA2 gene carriers

Ausykaren

I have the BRCA2 gene mutation and I eat broccoli and avocados and now I am reading a couple of studies that both of these foods are damaging in BRCA gene carriers. Has anyone else heard or been told of this?

The site linked above has an article about diet for BRCA mutation carriers, with links to research. I have only read good things about broccoli on that site and elsewhere. According to the same site, the effects of avocados are not as clear, with some indications that avocados may have unwanted hormonal effects, so she recommends limiting avocado consumption. Again, references to scientific studies are provided.
