Breast cancer is heavily hormone-dependent.

1. oral contraceptives
2. implant, injection, transdermal hormonal contraceptives
3. abortion of first child conceived, in first trimester of pregnancy,
4. abortion at other levels of gravidity,
5. women reaching menopause G=0, P=0;
6. contamination of every watershed in the United States with estrogens/estradiols and other endocrine disruptors.

I'd look into that.

Please don’t forget that miscarriages also add to the risk, as well as never having children.

Yes...those things are likely causative...but we’re talking diagnosis here....

However, I’ve heard the single biggest thing a woman can do to reduce her risk of breast cancer is to breast feed her children. The longer the better.

All the warnings are what not to do. This is one to do.
