In a bold and encouraging move on Tuesday, Russian authorities suspended the import of Monsanto's genetically-modified corn over cancer fears spurred by an alarming long-term animal feeding study performed by French researchers at the University of Caen and published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology this month.
The bombshell GMO/Roundup study brought to the forefront the link between what we eat and breast cancer risk, less than two weeks before the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Will we let this connection be pinkwashed away?
A quarter century old practice: X-ray based breast screening, has now been confirmed (twice in 3 years) to cause more harm than good, and by what is perhaps the most respected research institution within "evidence-based medicine": The Cochrane Collaboration
A new study reveals that the use of calcium-channel blockers for 10 or more years was associated with significantly higher risks of both ductal breast cancer and lobular breast cancer.
What if compounds from plants like soy, flaxseed, and green tea could help reduce that risk and improve long-term outcomes for breast cancer patients?
If glyphosate is indeed substituting for glycine during protein synthesis, the consequences are mindboggling
The concept of a breast cancer that has no symptoms, which can not be diagnosed through manual palpation of the breast and does not become invasive in the vast majority of cases, might sound unbelievable to most women. However, there does exist a rather mysterious clinical anomaly known as Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), which is, in fact, one of the most commonly diagnosed and unnecessarily treated forms of "breast cancer" today.
The American Cancer Society's rosy breast cancer statistics report mask a deadly reality: mammograms may be doing more harm than good.
Could the key to fighting breast cancer be hiding in your fruit bowl? A surprising new study suggests that limonene, a natural compound in the peel of citrus fruits, may pack a powerful punch against this devastating disease
We are bombarded every day by harmful radiation from medical tests like X-rays and CT scans, radon gas and radiation from space. And there is always worry about fallout from disasters like the meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. How do you protect yourself from radiation?
Other than some obvious signs―puffy gums, sore joints, chronic stuffiness―how can you tell if your inflammation levels are higher than they should be? Several tests can be useful here.
Imagine a health crisis so vast it affects 1.5 million Americans each year, yet remains largely hidden from public view. This is the reality of diagnostic errors and overdiagnosis in the United States, a two-pronged problem that new research suggests is far more pervasive and harmful than previously understood.
Breast cancer is a devastating disease that affects millions of women worldwide. While genetic factors have long been considered the primary culprits, a groundbreaking study has revealed that the air we breathe may play a more significant role in the development of this disease than previously thought.
Adding just 4 tablespoons of olive oil a day to a Mediterranean diet cuts the risk of invasive breast cancer by 68%
The chemotherapy kills the "bulk" tumor cells, yet leaves behind chemo-resistant cancer stem cells, which repopulate with greater metastatic potential
What if the very product millions use daily to stay fresh is silently contributing to one of the most feared diseases among women? A growing body of evidence suggests the aluminum in antiperspirants may play an insidious role in breast cancer development - and it's time we took a closer look at research that was prematurely dismissed.
Are you one of the million of women who currently take a birth control pill? If so, beware of the artificial hormones contained in the birth control pill and the increased risk of developing breast cancer.
Despite no evidence of its effectiveness to prevent disease, public health agencies and the medical community insist that infants and children between the ages of 2 and 12 months require up to four shots of the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV). Now new research finds a substance in turmeric, curcumin, may outperform the vaccine in providing long lasting protection against potentially deadly lung damage in infants
Intake of coffee and other foods that contain chlorogenic acids has an inverse association with obesity-related chronic diseases. New evidence also shows that these phenolic compounds may also reduce the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women
More than 100 women in the U.S. die every day from breast cancer. Could something as simple as celery make a difference?
A new study published in JAMA Oncology reveals that mammograms -- a common cause of false-positive breast cancer diagnoses -- result in a much higher rate of breast cancer deaths (84% higher over a 20-year surveillance period) than those who are not diagnosed with cancer mistakenly.
A study from Zheijian Provincial People's Hospital in Zheijiang, China indicates that a compound in turmeric known as curcumin, which gives the spice its characteristic saffron-like color, is capable of inducing cell death within triple negative breast cancer cells
Millions of women undergo them annually, but few are even remotely aware of just how many dangers they are exposing themselves to in the name of prevention, not the least of which are misdiagnosis, overdiagnosis and the promotion of breast cancer itself.
Millions have marched for "cancer causes." Millions more have been diagnosed "early" and now believe screening saved their lives. But a new study confirms something we have been reporting on since our inception: In most cases, screening not only has not "saved lives," but actually increases your risk of dying.
