It boggles my mind. America spends so much time, money, and human energy on the subject of breast cancer, and yet, people are being diagnosed with this awful disease left and right.
We screen for it, develop and perform procedures to detect it, operate on it, radiate it, try to kill it with drugs, and develop and prescribe drugs to prevent it and to prevent it from re-occurring. We develop and maintain groups and programs to support those living with cancer. All these modern modalities and kind aid and still, America’s women continue to suffer from breast cancer.
Why hasn’t anyone done anything about the obvious?
Consider this quote: “…there is overwhelming evidence that estrogen levels are a critical determinant of breast cancer risk.”
-- Bernstein and Ross, Cancer Researchers at the Department of Preventive Medicine, University of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles.
How can anyone ignore that? if there’s such a strong relationship between the two, why aren’t American women trying to reduce their exposure to and intake of estrogen? For instance, rather than finding ways to lower the activity of elevated estrogen levels with medications such as tamoxifen, why not just lower estrogen levels in the first place?
Let’s step back for a moment to review some facts.
A woman’s risk for breast cancer increases when she has …
Early menstruation
Late menopause
High levels of estrogen in the blood
High blood cholesterol
And, a diet high in animal foods (yes, even low- or no- fat) and refined carbohydrates (the typical American diet)…
Lowers the age of menarche (onset of menstruation)
Raises the age of menopause
Increases estrogen levels in the blood
Increases blood cholesterol levels
In other words, it looks as if the toxic American diet may cause breast cancer. The powerful alternative to our fat laden, high animal protein diet is a vegan diet – full of delicious vegetables, fruit, beans, and whole grains. We need to steer clear of foods that cause estrogen levels to rise, including soy. Soy is plentiful in plant-estrogens. Having a family history of breast cancer increases your chances for being diagnosed with it, but it doesn't mean that you will get it. How you live your life is most important!
If you’re at risk for breast cancer, do some reading. T. Colin Campbell, PhD, and Joel Fuhrman, MD, can lead you down the road to better health.
