Breast cancer myth
It continues to bother me that some well intentioned people perpetuate the myth that 50% of breast cancer could be avoided just by exercising. This notion makes my blood boil!
@"Patti J" I'm going to be REALLY careful here, as you have bravely put this post up, I have done so previously to get a barrage from the forum which partly led to my leaving 3 months ago. So I see you are being a little heard... :/
I agree with you for what it is worth. I've always exercised and I advocate it if anyone goes back through my posts. BUT...as some have said its been huge in rehabilitation for symptoms etc., BUT...it doesnt prevent BC. I've always said EXERCISE because it makes you feel good as does diet...don't do it because you're adamant it will prevent BC...I've seen too many people disappointed.
Not touching this again lol, tends to cause a frenzy LOL.
