I would be willing to bet that every woman in this study has teeth. Since there is 100% correlation then having teeth must cause breast cancer.
I wonder if this study eliminated other factors that could also be implicated in breast cancer like first pregnancy abortion.

What about the bovine additives. It is my understanding that the cows developed infections (and I believe they were mammary gland infections). The cows were given tons of antibiotics and there was a "subdued" warning about the possible consequences of milk from these cows.

There's also a link between high-fat and/or high sugar diets (but not necessarily being overweight), and deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals. I've also heard that pot use in one's youth is a factor as well.
But since science has been politicized and certain big donors (sugar lobby, beef industry, etc.) would be implicated, the truth will never come from government.

I usually use the analogy that most women have worn blue jeans so blue jeans must cause breast cancer.
These studies are amusing. I had no family history, didn't drink, smoke, use antibiotics or have an abortion. I had children early in life and breast fed all 4 of them and yet I still got breast cancer.
