Breast cancer is rarely cased by one single event and there is no one single drug that will turn this disease off or cure it.
However one single factor has greater weightage when it comes to triggering breast cancer.
Mountains of research have shown that an excess of female hormone estrogen in one form or another may have a major role to play in the cause of this ailment.
Avoidance of excess estrogen may diminish the chances of developing breast cancer.
This phenomenon is called estrogen dominance.
This is not to build up negativity or demonize this hormone.
They are essential for health and the protective hormone progesterone does not function without this hormone.
Moreover estrogens do not cause breast cancer by themselves alone.
Our body's complex biochemistry operates in a web like fashion interlinking various factors.
Estrogens are meant to do certain biological and metabolic function.
But when they deviate from their assigned function they go and damage the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) structure.
This always precedes any type of cancer.
Estrogen is equally necessary to life and health of a woman.
But it is the excess and bombardment with this hormone that is one of the major concerns.
Our reliance on petroleum /petrochemical based products has flooded our surroundings with environmental or exogenous estrogen.
Right from the air we breathe to the food we eat to the furniture we sit on is awash with this hormone.
Progesterone is the hormone that opposes and balances estrogen in your body and it plays a protective role.
You need to change your lifestyle in order to prevent yourselves from being bombarded with estrogens.
If you are spraying your garden with pesticides, microwaving your food in plastic wrap, gorging on French fries and snack chips you are voluntarily adding to estrogen load.
Lack of childbearing and breast feeding will lead to pileup of excess estrogen in the body which is again a perfect recipe for breast cancer.
