Plant-Based Diets and Nutrition in Women
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether women who eat vegetarian, vegan, or mostly plant-based diets are getting all the nutrients they need. Researchers will compare nutrition levels in healthy women, women at high risk for cancer, and women who've had cancer before.
