    So, on the CNN website today they had the latest and greatest suspects for BC. An organization called Silent Spring sponsered by Komen, lists them.

    Pollution

    Gas fumes

    Stuff in water

    synthetic estrogen

    alcohol (hate that one)

    charbroiled food

    the list goes on...

    Like we said before, what doesn't cause cancer??

    depressing. Guess it is time to be a bubble girl.

    Yeah, all these may be related to cancer, but what actually causes it? We'll get there one day.

    All these things that may increase a woman's estrogen--they increase a man's estrogen, too, don't they? What are the cancers being caused by that?? Any ideas?

    I agree that it seems like everything causes breast cancer.  I hear women trying to analyze what may have caused theirs but I honestly believe that we cannot predict what will cause it.  So many women have lived healthy lifestyles with no additives, no plastics, everything organic or natural, etc etc and still get bc...

    I believe that living 100 percent healthy is an excellent idea but that there are no guarantees.

    How unfortunate.
