DDT is not linked with Breast Cancer

Every year 1 out of 8 women get breast cancer. Although, the number of cases of women being diagnosed with breast cancer has decreased since the 1980's, breast cancer continues to be the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Since the 1990's there has been much controversy concerning whether or not Breast cancer was linked to the use of DDT. There have been many studies done early in the 1990's that suggest it was but more recently I found some new articles that conclude that DDT is not linked with breast cancer. I found this very interesting because I wasn't aware of these new studies. In an effort to increase awareness of Breast cancer I thought that this information was important. More importantly, the decreases in deaths of breast cancer are the result of earlier detection and improved treatment. Breast cancer affects every one in one way or another. So I encourage everyone to do breast self exams. Here is a link about how to do one if you already dont know..
