Dear Friends:

Two physicians wrote a letter to the Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, Illinois) entitled, "Why not prevent breast cancer?" They argue that if a woman breastfeeds her babies for four years, avoids synthetic "birth control" chemicals and never has an abortion, her lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is "statistically zero (not absolutely zero)." They correctly observed, "We are causing an epidemic of breast cancer."

We couldn't agree more. Cancer fundraising businesses withheld evidence dating from the 1980s that combined oral contraceptives (the pill) and combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT) raise breast cancer risk until the national press (not cancer groups) broke the news about the risk of using HRT in 2002. Starting in 1957, they concealed the existence of a large body of epidemiological, experimental and biological research implicating abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer. 

This year, these organizations expect more than one-quarter of million women to be diagnosed with breast cancer (in situ and invasive breast cancer), but they are not alarmed. More cancer patients mean more donors and donations.

You can read the physicians' letter to the Daily Herald below.

Sincerely,
Karen Malec
