Look at the chart of average weight of American women over the same period. It’s been climbing steadily, and additional body fat (even short of being medically classified as “overweight”) is well-known to increase estrogen levels and thus increase the incidence of breast cancer. There was an article just a day or two ago about the increasing incidence of breast cancer in young girls, even as young as 10. Increasing body fat (and the closely associated early onset of menstruation) is suspected as one of the factors in this alarming new trend. In addition, the rates of breast cancer in men have been significantly increasing for the past 25-30 years, and we can safely assume that this isn’t due to oral contraceptive use or abortion.
Why are you so insistant that it has nothing to do with it? Are you aware that other countries have been studing the link for amny years but the studies have never been given credit in this country due to the pharma corps? A friend’s father was a foreign born doctor and up until his death last year I had access to many of the journals he recieved and yes there is a direct link.He knew I was interested and would translate them for me.It’s just too bad women in this country aren’t told the truth.
