breast cancer
Breast cancer linked to chemicals
Reduced exposure to common products may prevent disease
Headline of an article in the Baltimore Sun today.
Writing in a publication of the American Cancer Society, researchers said that reducing exposure to the compounds could prevent many women from developing the disease.
Um, excuse me but didn't we figure that out already?
The other day my father made fun of me buying organic milk and organics in general when I can. He said he didn't get the difference.
Well Dad, let's see. You have prostate cancer and mom had breast cancer. Don't you wonder where that comes from?
And so it goes.

I am shocked as well that this news is just coming out, and how little awareness has been raised about how simple things, like going organic and switching to environmentally friendly products, can make a difference. We have known for decades that women who work at home and are exposed to cleaning chemicals are 54 percent more likely to develop cancer. We also know that only 2 percent of chemicals currently used in commerce have been tested for carcinogenicity. THanks!
