B reast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, with nearly 1.7 million new cases diag-
nosed annually. Over 230,000 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with breast cancer and about 40,000 women
die from the disease. Many want to know what can increase our risk, not just family history, age and gene mu-
tations but if daily exposure to chemicals in common beauty products can contribute and if there’s anything
that can be done to lower our risks? ; Awareness of guidelines- Annual mammogram starting at 40; Breast
awareness: Report any changes in the skin, color, size/ shape of the breast, also new lumps or nipple discharge;
Behavior: Maintain a healthy body weight, engage in regular exercise, breast feed if possible and minimize
alcohol intake; Consumer Choices: Buy only personal care products free of parabens and pthalates.
