Apparently the most significant factor, abortion, was left out.

Did you miss this from the article?:

determined Australian women who had abortions increased their risks for breast cancer by 160%. As the study's most significant and only statistically significant risk factor, abortion was unparalleled among all of the variables examined. The elevated risk resulting from induced abortion far and away exceeded that of family history for the disease and even childlessness, according to the research. ... At a talk given in 1999 in Malvern, Australia, Brind said, "This is not what you see in scientific research, ever. I've never seen it before, where the most significant finding in a study is specifically left out of a research paper."

I found the abstract for the original article at A population-based case-control study of diet and breast cancer in Australia.

So apparently, since the original study was conducted to examine the link between diet and breast cancer, and no such link was discovered, they somehow felt justified to omit the fact that having an abortion increased a womans chances of contracting breast cancer by 160%, since that wasn't a diet related factor.

These were obviously not truth seeking scientists. They had an agenda to push, and fatty foods figured into it. When they discovered the truth about abortion and breast cancer, they buried it. Not true scientists (truth seekers) in the classical sense.

I encourage you and others here who wish to expose junk science and the political agenda of pseudo scientists like Dr. T.E. Rohan, to copy and save this abstract, and try to get a copy of the original article. It is available at university libraries and research hospitals. You may be able to get a reprint from AJE.
