How is breast cancer caused by environmental hazards?

Women in the United States have a one-in-seven chance of developing breast cancer at some point in our lives. An extensive movement is pressing for more research on the causes of breast cancer, particularly the effect of the environment, so that preventive measures and better treatment can be developed. Certain chemicals are associated with cancer in lab animals and/or humans.

Diets high in animal fat may increase the amount of fat-soluble toxins, such as dioxin, and some pesticides in your body. Over time, these compounds may trigger breast cancer by disrupting normal cell-regulation processes in sensitive breast tissue. Although women workers with high exposure to dioxin have significantly high rates of breast cancer, recent studies of endocrine disruptors and breast cancer were inconclusive.

As a result, women face difficulties in assured safety at work or in avoiding hazardous chemicals that they may not even know are present in their environment. It is more important than ever for women to insist that government and industrial interests accept the responsibility for their contribution to environmental and workplace hazards that may cause cancer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
