How to Lessen your Risk of Breast Cancer

How to Lessen your Risk of Breast Cancer

I recently discussed mammograms and the perception that they somehow reduce your risk of dying from breast cancer. Over 70% of American women believe that many deaths will be prevented and that a mammogram will somehow save them from breast cancer.

It’s not true, but the vast amount of marketing and propaganda about mammograms makes it understandable as to why many women think so.

Mammograms, in fact, save 1 life out of 1,000. Women regularly screened for breast cancer showed no difference in the number of advanced tumors when compared to women who received no mammograms – a 17-year study out of Denmark.

So what CAN you do to truly lessen your risk of breast cancer?

Quite a lot and the news is good.
