Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Among the risk factors related to this disease, lifestyle and unhealthy diet have important relevance. In the present report, we describe the case of an indigenous villager who consumed processed foods, such as snacks, soft drinks, artificial juice and biscuits. Therefore, we were able to observe a transition in habits of the indigenous population with possible epidemiological repercussions.
