Study shows being slim not enough to ward off breast cancer

Researchers found that whether a woman is thin or fat, exercise plays a crucial role in keeping her away from the deadly disease

OY...

So when I had a BMI of 19, I clearly knew being thin did squat for me ...exercising 2 hours/day....clearly did not help either.

Why can't they stop the speculation and just find the cure!

Thanks for posting this article.  I sent it to my daughter.  She is 35 and with a mother and grandmother with breast cancer, she tells me that "it is only a matter of time" before she is also a victim.  (Sob!)  I loudly told my daughter that there was a lot she could do to reduce her risk, exercise and maintain a healthy weight first and foremost.  We are doing an exercise program together and we are both doing well.   Next, I will convince her to visit a genetic counselor so that she has a better understanding of her risk and what other strategies are available to her to further reduce that risk.  I love my daughter so very much and will never give up making sure she is educated about this heinous disease.

Exercise & being thin may lower our risk but it can't bring it down to 0%. So that's why Wallycat & I are in the club
