There isn't a part of the body that is not adversely affected by alcohol consumption, and nobody should be promoting its use. Alcohol taxes the liver, is hard on the nervous system (brain) and can predispose one to stomach cancer. It is hard on the heart muscle and it may promote bone thinning. Finally, it is addictive. Alcohol consumption appears to be one of the most consistent risk factors for breast cancer. One reason may be its tendency to boost estrogen levels. The other is that it is frequently contaminated with herbicide, fungicide and pesticide residues used on grape crops. As far as the dairy question goes, one need not draw upon the substantial medical literature in this regard, they simply need common sense. Cow's milk was never intended for humans and we have no nutritional requirement for it. Every glass of milk, no matter how consciously it was produced, organic or not, contains almost sixty different hormones and growth factors. That's a scientific fact. Why would anyone interested in health want to ingest such a payload? If it's calcium you're after, there are 70 good food sources that offer it. Surprisingly, one will absorb more calcium from a glass of fortified orange juice, or a cup of broccoli, than from a glass of cow's milk.

Amazing change. Check out the below webpage link . Search the studies documented on the web which have been done over the years with iodine, talk with your doctor and then try iodine. From everything which I have read iodine seems to have a preventive effect on cancer of the breast. http://blog.annlouise.com/2009/10/02/iodine-deficiency-hidden-link-to-breast-cancer-risk/ After years of lumpy breasts and some call back mammograms, my doctor started me on Iodine supplements.

The pasteurization and homogenization can actually break down the "good stuff" in milk such as good bacteria and enzymes thus creating a faulty dairy product. If comparing the studies of processed dairy vs raw dairy there are more ill effects from the processed dairy. But by eating the raw forms of dairy caution must be taken in the freshness and sanitation of the food. I think dairy has been given a bad rap and has just been processed and overprocessed to destroy the actual good that can come from it.

It's quite well known that dairy products increase the risk of breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Humans are the only species of mammal that does not wean itself. We do not need milk or dairy products and I am sickened whenever I see pink ribbons displayed on yogurt, ice cream, cheese or milk cartons. How sad. Why don’t you say anything about dairy products?

In about 2003 I started using progesterone cream. Until then, I've never had a regular (on time)period. Now I (still) do at this age. Is it because I'm using the cream, or is it that God hasn't decided to end mine yet. My Gyno says its cause I'm making Estrogren (sp?). Please let me know. Also, could it be cause I use Soy, that's another theory. Thank you very much. I am a believer and loved! <a href="http://www.virginiahopkinstestkits.com/aboutdrjohnlee.html" rel="nofollow">Dr. Lee</a>. I never used an HRT, always just progesterone cream. Carol I am 57 yrs old.
