"Many breast cancers are fueled by estrogen, a hormone produced in fat
tissue. So experts suspect that the fatter a woman is, the more estrogen
she's likely to produce, which could in turn spark breast cancer."

I agree with what you are saying, I know there are many cures out there. The thing I found interesting about the estrogen was how it related to weight; more weight more estrogen. We know hormone pills put a person at greater risk for breast cancer. If a person was at risk for breast cancer due to obesity, I would think it would be easy motivation for them to lose weight.
This makes me scratch my head because I've known or had friends who have known many, many women who have had breast cancer and the one thing they had in common.......average weight to very slender. Not one overweight person.edit on 1/21/2012 by Miss Sile because: Spelling

I'm thinking the hormones in regular grocery store meat and milk. I recall reading that those hormones contribute to hyperthyroidism, ok....so that would account for the abundance of slender women getting breast cancer, BUT that seems like a weak link because many are vegetarian. I don't know, and my brain is shut down, (its almost 5am) tell us Bblaaz. Stop holding out! Lol

ha good point.
my viewpoint:
thyroid activity is not the cause but the symptom. ponder that.
