I think the real answers lie beneath our feet. For instance, remember the CURIES. The people who discovered radiation, or uranium. I forget exactly what, but!! it was dangerous, it killed both of them, because they handled the materials by hand. anyway. The laboratory is in West Philly I believe. They have NEVER KNOCK IT DOWN, they just covered it up. And let us and other poor folk move into the NEIGHBORHOOD . Women breast contains fats, that hold in pollution, and of course, can cause cancer and birth defects!!!. In New JERSEY, we have Toms River, we have a Nuclear power plant there, and a Big Cancer Cluster!!!!. We also have Hamilton Township near Mays landing, where a lot of LAND FILLS ARE, and ole dump sites, covered up with DIRT, also cancer Clusters. I say to ALL women(and men), just look at the HISTORY of your neighborhood. If you have history of cancer, birth defects, Asthma, in your area, try to find out what businesses where there, before you move there. And 9 out of 10 times, you will have found the culprit

glc3 - Thanks for sharing that article. It's a reminder that women need to take regular check ups and pay close attention to their body. We have to be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to our health.

I pay attention to announcements like these, but I do not put too much faith in them. We need to check up, be healthy and all that jazz, no doubt....but it seems like, we are the face of everything...from AIDS to Heart Disease....and that just doesn't sit right with me, especially when stats can be twisted and biased, intentionally or unintentionally...

We have been the victims of so many crimes of humanity, that we get this so called, if it don't directly effect, I not worrying attitudes. I do agree!, that there are too many, health scares out there, but most are based on real events, potentail diasters, that could happen if we don't keep up, on what we need to know about health related issues. But, to say that the STATS, can be twisted, being the basis of your theory, on why you don't try to keep up, is just as wrong!!!. We live in some of the most polluted neiborhoods, in America!!. I don't know how ole you are. But remember NIaggra Falls neiborhood!!!!! in up state New York!!!. Well the developers Built over a Toxic site!!! and didn't tell anybody, as well as county officials. anyway, after many years, birth defect started happening. At 30 percent the national Average!!!. Anyway theses white people some how got a HOLD of SIXTY MINUTES!! and when they dugg into the history of this area!!! they found that it was and ole toxic site covered over with dirt and other debree. Then delvelopers got a hold of the cheap land, and whalla!!! you name it, those poor kids and women got it.!!! In Our neiborhoods, it's Asthma!!,learning disabilitys, and defects, BUT!!!!!!! we don't have the leadership, that we need in mass, to uncover how many of our neighborhoods, are built over ole toxic sites!!!.

I, in no way advocate ignoring anything. Thanks for the response. I read your whole statement and made sure I addressed everything you said and put in examples, of what could happen, if we simply work together. i was really trying to address, how you could decide, between the real and unreal, as well as the face issue, that we are put on tuff dieases. i think if we are going to error, lets error on the side of our health.
