Campaign Exposes Breast Cancer Links

'Breast cancer - an environmental disease', published by umbrella organisation the UK Working Group on the Primary Prevention of Breast Cancer, pulls together evidence on what is known of the effect of gender-bending chemicals, carcinogens and toxins on animals and humans.

The research gathers together "incontrovertible evidence" that many industrial chemicals and radiation are major causes of breast cancer. It points out that breast cancer was relatively rare until the mid-20th century,with one woman in 12 expecting to get breast cancer in her lifetime in1996. Five years later, and the figure was one in nine, the report reveals.

The government and the "cancer establishment" is failing to tackle the causes of breast cancer, particularly exposure to industrial chemicals, according to the report.
