Let's conduct our own study on how we all got breast cancer

Or nail polish remover.  That stuff is toxic. 

Aha, just looking at an incredibly good-looking guy on TV.  That's what did it - heart goes pitter-patter, louder and louder and it's located right there between the breasts.  Swift heartbeat scared the cells nearby so they morphed into bc cells.  Now, depending on how many scaredy=cat cells you had and whether they ran to the right or the left or, if enough of them, both ways, gave bc. 

So, away with good looking guys.  (hey, come on ladies, have to sacrifice sometimes!)

My ancestors, Adam and Eve ate an apple or somethin' like that - why would you expect me to know to feed myself better?

Maybe it was too much artificial butter flavor on the movie popcorn at the drive-in.

I think it was all the girls jealous of my breasts.  They voodooed me!  

hehehe

ummmmm...just checked this thread out and haven't read all the ideas....but some one MUST have said what we all know is REALLY behind BC...and most cancers for that matter...the microwave oven!! Especially those under the counter ones that are practically at breast height!!  Or worse, talking on your cell or portable phone while cooking in your microwave...that is for sure!!

And what is wrong with silk flowers??  My husband watered a miniature bonsai for 3 years until my 6 y/o granddaughter frustratingly told him, "GRANDPA....this is NOT a real plant!!" and we had to put it under the microscope! She was right! 

God Bless!

Maybe it's the syran wrap I used to cover everything with before I microwaved it.  It would get all warm and melty....can't be good.

Oh crap!  I just made banana bread and wrapped it in aluminum foil. I guess the boys will have breast cancer tomorrow.

You are not thinking logically... you have to eliminate anything that boys ate or used.... so the school glue is out... even the yellow stuff cuz the boys ATE it.  Anything microwaved was eaten by both sexes.  I go with clapping erasers cuz girls always volunteered.  My catholic school uniform included the tunic.... top and pleated skirt in one. With white blouse and blue knee socks.  We wore them so short there was a dip designed in the back to cover our butts and we sometimes wore shorties to cover too.

I think it was the ugly gym uniform.

dreamwriter, I think you may have hit on it....it was the knee socks.  Very few boys wore knee socks, but the girls all did, even those who didn't go to catholic school. 

Maybe it was the tight elastic around the knee that did it, or maybe the exposed skin between the bottom of the skirt and the top of the socks!

I wore those knee socks too!  You maybe onto something.  Or maybe it was those Catholic school girls neckties.  I forget wht they were called but they went around your neck with a snap in the front, to make an x shape.....pointing to your breasts!

I never got the hang of tampons... they would just pop right out.... so no its not tampons

What if it's not something we did do, and men don't do, what if its something protective in things men do... like...

Using Just for Men, Wearing Aqua Velva and Mitchum deodorant? 

Rachel...if it is something that men do and we don't...then it must be oggling...that must be it! Breast obsessed, butt obsessed oggling!

God Bless!

OK, let's talk popcorn... first of all, its not really popcorn unless its jiffy pop in that built in shaker with the spirally thing. (Do they still make that?)  And its not butter unless its BUTTER, preferably that you melted yourself.  Hey, maybe it was all that SHAKING over the stove to MAKE the Jiffy Pop!  Hmmm . And then eating the burnt kernels that still had butter an salt on them so like, why not.. they definitely gave me BC.

Then if you are talking about movie theater popcorn, you gotta distinguish between the one that popped from kernals in the bucket falling into the bin, and whether you were swift enough to get the stuff that had popped that night from the bucket, or maybe from months before that was still in the bin.  The butter in movie theaters never was BUTTER, it was butter flavored grease.  And for you young'uns, you never had popped popcorn in a theater, it all came in huge plastic BAGS and it was popped in another century, another zip code, possibly another planet.  You've probably never even SEEN a kernel unpopped!

If you ate anything in the movie theater- unless you went to independent films and got their granola mix instead with a cappuchino- it gave us BC.  That is, except the things with chocolate.  Mounds, Junior Mints, Raisinets, Milky Ways, M&Ms and Goobers- all safe.  Good and Plenty, Chuckles, Twizzlers- all cause my BC.

Whatever turned the orange soda to be orange, definitely caused BC.   

Yes Angel....Def. the pink....lol

Guys hate anything pink and young girls LOVE anything pink...you're onto something there!
