Abortion Predicts Breast Cancer Better Than Other Factors, Study Shows

Excellent point(s).

As far as I know a comprehensive study dealing with all these factors hasn’t been done. One would think that womens groups would be screaming for it, so why not? Maybe some of the answers are assumed and not politically correct.

I went to a seminar recently dealing with natural hormones. They talked about the increase in the incidence of breast cancer, it has gone from 1 in 50 to 1 in 8 and expected to go to 1 in 6. They drew an interesting correlation between the rise in breast cancer and synthetic hormones, i.e. birth control and Premarin. There are lots of people that do not want this information even speculated on.

How about the correlation between diet and breast cancer? Asian women (in Asia) who ate a typically low fat Asian diet (lots of vegetables, rice, little meat, no frying in fats) had very low rates of breast cancer. With the introduction of Western foods, rates have dramatically increased.

The author picked seven factors to study. Diet wasn't one of them. He then concluded that abortion was the strongest predictor, and from there that the relationship is causal. A dramatic leap without the kind of literature review and discussion one would expect before drawing such a conclusion.

Actually, I am not sure this accurately describes the work. The author sounds convinced he has a causal relationship from the get-go.

I realize that many people may want to believe that abortion is a cause of breast cancer (which it may or may not be). But it is better to rely on high-quality research. The lack of objectivity here is too evident.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look up this information. I greatly appreciate it.

“My wife and I have been through the same situation a couple times. It sucks in a way worse than anything can suck. Prayers.”

Oh, I’m so sorry that you have had to go through such a terrible ordeal, and more than once. Thank you for your prayers and I will return the same kindness for you and your wife. Having witnessed the pain that this young woman and her husband are experiencing makes me sadder than I have ever been. She is a strong person, stronger I’m sure than I would be under similar circumstances but, as I mentioned in my earlier post, the tears have flowed unabashedly.
