Default Breast Cancer, Prevention Is The Cure

October has been Breast Cancer Awareness month since 1985. In the
coming days, pink ribbons will emerge in abundance, symbolizing the
efforts of educational and fund raising events that take place to find
the "cure", and offering hope to those already diagnosed. These local
and national events will generate millions of dollars. As the "Race
for the Cure" continues, how can women incorporate preventative
measures into their daily lives? Prevention is the hope that you will
not be one of the growing numbers of women being diagnosed with breast
cancer each year.

Women are repeatedly told that "early detection is the best
protection". Early detection is vital if you have been diagnosed with
breast cancer, but this is not the same as prevention. While
researching for this article, I realized that "early detection" is
often confused with actual "prevention".

Sue Macleod, a breast cancer survivor and health care professional,
observes that since the petro-chemical era of the 1930's, the
incidence of breast cancer has risen from 1 in 50 women to 1 in 8 by
the year 2000. To date, research continues to explore the links
between breast cancer and the environment. The study, "State of the
Evidence: What is the Connection Between Chemicals and Breast Cancer?"
presented by the Breast Cancer Fund and Breast Cancer Action explores
and summarizes the research about links between breast cancer and the
environment. The document points out that we can no longer ignore the
increasing evidence that repeated exposure to certain chemicals are
contributing to the rising incidence of breast cancer each year.
Chemicals such as parabans, pesticides, cleansers and pharmaceutical
drugs act like estrogens in our bodies. This is troubling, because a
woman's vulnerability to breast cancer increases as her lifetime
