If You Want To Get Breast Cancer Get Obese
A study from Oxford University about breast cancer has been featured on the BBC.
As someone, who has lost two close family members to the dreaded disease, it is a study that women avoid at their peril.
This is the last two paragraphs of the BBC report.
Dr Julie Sharp, of Cancer Research UK, said: “This is an important study as it helps to show how alcohol and weight can influence hormone levels. Understanding their role in breast cancer is vital and this analysis sheds light on how they could affect breast cancer risk.
“We know that the risk of the disease can be affected by family history and getting older, but there are also things women can do help reduce the risk of the disease. Maintaining a healthy body weight and reducing alcohol consumption are key to reducing breast cancer risk.”
Enough said.
