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
Breast Health & Sugar Consumption
Did you know that there is a strong evidence between carbohydrates consumption and breast cancer? Studies have shown that women who ate high amounts of carbohydrates (about 62% or more of their total daily caloric intake) were more than twice as likely to have breast cancer as those eating fewer carbohydrates. Note---the greatest risk comes from sucrose (table sugar).

Your Immunity & Stress
Your Health & Stress
Stress is much more than psychological - it can have harmful physical effects. Moreover, chronic stress can increase the formation of free radicals. The combination of free radicals and immune suppression increases the likelihood of disease development including cancer/breast cancer.

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.
