After years of
steady increase, breast cancer rates dropped 7 percent in 2003, one year after
millions of women stopped taking hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) following
a report by the Women's Health Initiative regarding the dangers of HRT.
The July 2002 report indicated that HRT can increase the risks of heart disease and breast cancer.
Breast cancer rates dropped the most (12 percent) among women aged 50 to 69 whose tumors feed on estrogen. Women in that age range are the most likely to use hormone therapy to relieve menopausal symptoms.
About 30 percent of women older than 50 took hormone therapy until the 2002 report, at which point roughly half of them stopped. Since 200,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year, a 7 percent drop means that approximately 14,000 fewer women were diagnosed with the disease in 2003.
Hormones are acidic waste products of glandular function and should never be used. Breast cancer is nothing more then acidic breasts from an acidic lifestyle and diet. Eliminate acidic hormones, acid lifestyles and diets and you will be at less risk for breast cancer. It is that simple. Read more…
