The Breast Cancer Prevention Program Book

Although the rates of breast cancer have escalatedfrom one in 20 four decades ago to one in 8 today - still, the cancer establishment insists that we have turned the tide against breast cancer. Not so, say the authors of this groundbreaking book, and they back this claim up with the most thorough analysis of all known and suspected causes of breast cancer yet undertaken. What they reveal is the heartening (but ignored by the cancer establishment) news that breast cancer is preventableand that its rise is directly related to an out-of-control spread of the very factors that increase our risk of breast cancer: from environmental and workplace carcinogens to unhealthy lifestyle choices, from hormones pumped into commercial livestock to estrogenic medications, from premenopausal mammography to cosmetics and household hazards. For the first time, this book exposes all the causes of breast cancer and lays out all the possible preventive measures. The good news is theres plenty every woman can do to keep this dread disease at bay, and The Breast Cancer Prevention Program provides a fascinating, informative, and empowering blueprint for health.Samuel S.
