Breast Health & Deodorant

Your Breast Health & Deodorant

You use it every day, perhaps even twice a day but have you ever consider that some of those ingredients could be harmful to your health? Parabens and aluminum, two ingredients commonly used in many deodorants on the market today can in fact increase your risk for breast cancer!

Scientific research shows that parabens have estrogenic activity in human breast cancer cells! Additionally, most breast cancers develop in the upper-outer quadrant of the breasts and it just so happens that area is closest to the lymph nodes exposed to deodorants!

So the lesson learned today? Check your deodorant! Go to your local health food store and get a natural deodorant without the parabens and aluminum!

Breast Health & Sugar Consumption

Note---the greatest risk comes from sucrose (table sugar).

High Fat Diet & Breast Cancer

Cancer Risk with a High-Fat Diet

China, Japan, and Singapore, where the majority of the population consumes a low-fat diet, have the lowest incidence of breast cancer. Countries that have a higher percentage of fats, such as England, Scotland, United States, have a greater incidence of breast cancer. Estradiol, one of the most powerful natural forms of estrogen is increased in the body by 30% when a high-fat diet is followed. Many breast tumors are fueled by estrogen.

Garlic & Breast Health

Garlic & Breast Health
Numerous studies over the years (more than 30 different studies to date) have documented the anti-cancer properties of garlic. The strongest evidence so far has focused on digestive cancers, but garlic appears to protect against all types of cancer, including breast and prostate. Scientists have isolated two active ingredients in garlic, allicin and allyl sulfur, and demonstrated that they prevent and fight cancer in both animals and humans; you can take garlic in supplement form but the capsules must be enteric-coated to protect these active ingredients. Add crushed, fresh garlic to your meals whenever possible.

Kale & Breast Cancer

Did you eat your kale today?

Kale, a green leafy vegetable, is considered to be anti-inflammatory. It belongs to the brassica/cruciferous family of vegetables, containing a compound called indole-3-carbinol. Research shows that this compound has the ability to change the way estrogen is metabolized. This information is important when discussing the relationship between high levels of estrogen and the breast cancer occurrence in some women.
