The Breast Cancer Prevention Program

The Breast Cancer Prevention Program, 2nd Edition
By Samuel S. Epstein M.D., and David Steinman with Suzanne LeVert, 1998
http://www.preventcancer.com/press/books/bcp.htm

The book that takes the cancer establishment to taskThe First Complete Survey of the Causes of Breast Cancer and the Steps You Can Take to Reduce your Risks.

What the cancer establishment won't tell you and why

Personal and environmental risks you can avoid

Prevention strategies that work

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN HURT YOU

Breast Cancer rates continue to climb, with this disease striking more women every year, and yet information about known risks and prevention strategies is not reaching you. The cancer establishment has a vested interest in keeping you focused on early detection, treatment, and basic genetic research rather than on reducing the risks for developing the disease in the first place.

The Truth is, breast cancer is not a random killer. There are many simple, straight- forward ways women can help protect themselves against it. Supported by a wealth of scientifically documented, medically sound information, this ground-breaking book outlines the unpublished "Dirty Dozen" risk factors for breast cancer and describes in detail the ways you can avoid them. 1 in 8 is a frightening ratio.
Only 4 decades ago, the breast cancer rate was 1 in 20. Now it is 1
in 8. Yet the cancer establishment still insists that
"we have turned the tide against cancer."

Not so, says the author of this groundbreaking book.
They back up this claim with the most thorough analysis of all known
and suspected causes of breast cancer yet undertaken. They reveal the heartening
news that you can take steps to reduce your risks of getting breast cancer,
since its rise is directly related to an out-of-control spread of the factors
that increase our risk-from environmental and workplace carcinogens to
unhealthy lifestyle choices.

There is good news.
The authors explain that there is plenty every woman can do to keep
this dreaded disease at bay. The Breast Cancer Prevention Program
provides a fascinating, informative, and empowering blueprint for health.

Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., and David Steinman are the authors
of the best-selling consumer guide the Safe Shopper's Bible.
