And here's some more junk science on stuff causing breast cancer:

Quick! Let's pass some laws mandating counseling about breast cancer risk for anyone trying to purchase underarm deodorant!

Avoid abortions, breastfeed your babies, and eat a high-veggie high-fruit low-fat diet WELL-BALANCED nutritionally. That's my prescription for avoiding breast cancer. I'm a firm believer that many cancers come from chronic vitamin deficiencies, thus making the immune system unable to fight the cancer.

I have said it before: The apparently statistical link is not because of the nature of therapeutic abortion but because of the lack of follow-up medical attention.

Pregnancy immediately kicks the lactating hormones into overdrive. Breastfeeding is the natural goal and expectation of all this. But in instances where the pregnancy is terminated - miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, etc. - or the woman does not breastfeed her baby, the hormones keep the lactating features of the breasts stimulated without the natural release .... and it is apparently this unrelieved hormonal pressure that eventually triggers some breast cancers.

In many instances of miscarriage or a decision not to breastfeed, the doctors can administer other hormones that dial back the lactating mechanism. But in the case of the vast majority of elective abortions there is no such follow-up medical attention, so the lactating mechanism remains in overdrive for a prolonged period and this, from a lack of follow-up treatment for anti-lactation, is what probably leads to breast cancer.

The Wanderer's columnist said this about Belloc: "In his view, the 'Free Press,' however, born in rebellion to the 'Official Press' which usually serves the interests of the governing classes, was growing in credibility for exposing the 'incapacity and falsehood' of many large newspapers."

Belloc drew a distinction between hard news and suggested ideas. He argued: "These two things are quite distinct in character and should be regarded separately, though they merge in this: that false ideas are suggested by false news and especially news that is false through suppression."

The argument does not go this way about Global Warming.
