The Major Cause of Breast Cancer Almost Everyone Ignores

The Major Cause of Breast Cancer Almost Everyone Ignores
And in the 1990's, Dr. Samuel Epstein started warning people about the dangers of mammography, stating: "The premenopausal breast is highly sensitive to radiation, each 1 rad exposure increasing breast cancer risk by about 1 percent, with a cumulative 10 percent increased risk for each breast over a decade's screening... The high sensitivity of the breast, especially in young women, to radiation-induced cancer was known by 1970. Nevertheless, the establishment then screened some 300,000 women with X-ray dosages so high as to increase breast cancer risk by up to 20 percent in women aged 40 to 50 who were mammogramed annually."
