Breast Cancer and You

In our modern world, we are surrounded by chemicals and substances that are commonly used in everyday life. Unfortunately, many common chemicals we encounter have been found to be carcinogenic and are linked to cancer, specifically breast cancer.

A new study published in the Environmental Health Perspectives peer-reviewed journal identifies 17 groups of #chemicals that are linked to breast cancer. These include benzene and butadiene (found in vehicle exhaust, tobacco smoke, or charred food), methylene chloride (found in cleaning solvents), flame retardants (found in treated furniture or rugs), stain-resistant textiles (found in furniture upholstery), and disinfection byproducts (found in drinking water).

Silent Spring, an organization dedicated to identifying and breaking the links between environmental chemicals and #breastcancer, provides a list of seven tips you can follow to reduce or eliminate your exposure to breast carcinogens.  #SilentSpring believes that while science is still discovering how these chemicals affect our health and our lives, these tips provide actions you can take to begin reducing your exposure now.
