Today's News on Breast Cancer

I found this link to an article that is circulating on the internet as of today, but the information in it is not new at all. A few years back, some studies showed that there may be some correlation between the use of deodorants and breast cancer. Apparently, it is the aluminum derivative that may mimic estrogen and, over time, increase a woman's chances of getting breast cancer. Since this information is being circulated again, I thought it would be important to post it here, because awareness is any woman's best defense against breast cancer, including doing monthly self-breast exams and having yearly mammograms after the age of 40 and sooner, if there's a family history of breast cancer. Having said that, it is also important to make an informed decision about using deodorants that may contain components that may be connected to breast cancer, but always check with your doctor and get ALL the information first before you make any decision. http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=8204
