but environmental pollutants are considered to possibly be much more prevalent.
The longer your body is exposed to high levels of estrogen, the more likely you are to get breast cancer, whether from not having children, being exposed to environmental toxins that mimic or stimulate estrogen production, hormone replacement therapy, or hormones in foods, there's a lot to be concerned about and certainly a lot more research that needs to be done.
U of Cincinnati is doing some research, following young girls through puberty to adulthood and measuring their diet, exercise, environmental exposures, etc. Its thought that some breast cancers are caused by events that happen early in breast development, during puberty. Prevention studies take a long time but are worth the effort.
Let's hope the BCERA gets passed!
