In the 1960’s, 1 in 20 women would be diagnosed with breast cancer. Back then, this was considered a very serious and threatening national medical situation. Unfortunately in 2015, fifty years later, close to 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer—a two-and-a-half times increase! What’s causing this catastrophic crisis? What can be done about it?
One bright area of research is the study of how environmental factors may contribute to the occurrence of breast cancer. These findings have led to recommendations that are deemed helpful in both treating and preventing breast cancer.
Join Kira and Bill Van Ittersum as they share Dr. Mark Hyman’s Top 10 Strategies to Help Prevent Breast Cancer in their lively podcast.
