Description

I have uploaded this document, not as a suggested treatment for breast cancer (I have absolutely no idea about this), but because it is an interesting exposé of the myth of genetics.

You are apparently born with genetic susceptibilities to certain things, and there is basically sweet-fa you can do about it.

Quotes from this document:

"[Breast Cancer: ] Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it, compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and the even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. It is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises to 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame."

"Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of breast cancer approach those of their host community."

So on our genetic theories, you move from one country to another, and oh look, your genes suddenly change. You genetically manage to acquire the risk of the host population by flying in a plane...

This risk-transformation is not something confined to breast cancer; you will find pretty much the same effect with nearly every illness you can think of.

For anyone with an interest in preventing breast and other cancers, rather than support Chiribiznesses by buying a stupid pink wristband, you might want to google say "breast cancer and vitamin d" - vitamin D3 being of particular interest.
