Experts: One-third of breast cancer avoidable

BARCELONA, Spain — Experts at a scientific conference are saying that up to a third of breast cancer cases in Western countries could be avoided if women ate less and exercised more.

Carlo La Vecchia, a cancer expert at the University of Milan says it is time to focus on lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. His comments came Thursday in a lecture during the European breast cancer conference in Barcelona.

La Vecchia also said drinking less alcohol could help. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women.

The disease is thought to be fueled by estrogen, a hormone produced in fat tissue. Experts suspect that the fatter a woman is, the more estrogen she’s likely to produce, which could in turn spark breast cancer.

What can I add nutritionally speaking to my diet to help reduce my risk?

I explained the concept of Cell Death Signal Theory to U of Toronto (Princess Margaret Cancer Centre) President Pritchard almost 20 years ago and he asked the Dean of Medicine to reply to me. Even after sending courier letters to the Dean no answer. The Theory evolved into the Viroid Thermodynamic Theory on the Origin of Life(VTT)[presented at U of Guelph 1992] which explains viruses became genes and hormones are of viral origin. Understand this and cancer can be treated without chemo or radiation (see cancerfraudbadbiotech.com)which I did ; I am a cancer survivor.Dr Tak Mak of Princess Margaret has cried in public about women and breast cancer but think how many people could be alive today if the Dean of Medicine had just talked to me; I had offers of funding from pharma. Blacklisting is bad .
