Dr. Michnovicz has published extensively in the field of breast cancer prevention, nutrition, estrogen hormones, and phyto-medicine. He has been an active member of the American Society for Preventive Oncology and the American Society for Clinical Nutrition. He has authored more then 50 scientific articles in the fields of nutrition and cancer prevention. The results of his research have been published twice in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine. His book, "How to Reduce Your Risk of Breast Cancer." (Warner Books, 1994), was published in three languages, and was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. ​
