Just more evidence in how just about any study can have holes poked in it.  African Americans, not mentioned here, have higher incidence of BC than their Anglo sisters.  It is why there is a whole research SPORE on it at U of Chicago.  Women in jobs who have higher exposure to night work or chemicals have higher incidence.  I just returned from a country where there is an epidemic of Stage IV BC disease among women. Their exposure to stress and chemicals, possibly from a recent war, appears to have increased their risk.

This feels like a very pro-industrial spin on the topic, putting the onus on women, not public health. But, it's Forbes, so what would you expect.

Yes -- pro-industry for sure not to be held accountable for environmental or public health issues.  All about profit at any cost.
