Back when the 'the pill' was heavily used back in the '60s with higher concentrations of estrogen, has been a topic of debate for a long time regarding it's potential cause of breast cancer. My mother would fall into this category of women who took the pill back then and took it for a very long time. I can't help but think that was the cause of her BC but how do you prove it?

I started taking BCP when I was only 16 for very irregular and painful periods.By the time I was 34 I had breast cancer. Never once did my doctor ever suggest I should stop taking BCP and use a different method of birth control. After my BC I stopped taking BCP and had 2 ectopic pregnancies, so could not conceive anyway. No one is admitting that BCP could lead to increased chance of breast cancer, but I feel sure it does.

Not every person that has breast cancer dies, I was told 34 years ago I had breast cancer that had already spread to the lymph nodes. After months of chemo, and years of fear and worry that the cancer would return I am alive and well enjoying life.

Mine was 35 years ago.

Yesterday I saw a crawler across the bottom of the screen while I was watching GMA. It said that obesity is set to overtake smoking as the leading preventable cause of cancer in women.

I've cared for many many many thin cancer patients in my 42 year career. I've also cared for many many many very thin heart patients.

Sometimes todays cure is just as bad as the disease and you die from the cure in the end. I hope that they find less toxic way of addressing cancer that replaces the toxic Chemotherapy. I know they are working on it but they need to work on it harder.

Interesting.

Saw where the data is from the UK, but we will definitely see it here in the US...just a matter of time.

Obesity causes inflammation,

Fat secretes hormones (estrogen) and

Elevated insulin levels (insulin resistance).

Meat & dairy really are blow-torches with various cancers & heart conditions. Between the food itself causing inflammation to it

causing the breakdown of gut microbiome....it holds absolutely

no redeeming quality. The human body rejects it from consumption

to elimination...causing all sorts of havoc.

People will say ‘I’m skinny. I’m ok’ as they continue to eat the foods

which cause the same inflammation & breakdown of gut flora as their

heavier counterparts....thinking they’re out of the woods just because

of a number on a scale....but they’re not. Food..the TYPE of food

weighs heavily in the success for long-term health.

And we could ALSO get into the discussion of telomeres & cancer...

how a diet helps, but that might be another topic for another day.

I have a plate of baked potato fries & a salad to get after!

I'm sure you have. And I'm sure you cared for many, many, many obese cancer patients and many, many, many obese heart patients.

The study didn't say that every obese person is going to get cancer nor did it say every thin person will avoid cancer.

Just like every person who smokes won't get lung cancer and people who don't smoke do get lung cancer.

I'm not really sure what your point was.

@Lipstickdiva You stated my point - in the real world obese people get cancers and heart disease but so do thin people.

Do you have a link to the study? Thanks!
