Komen before I donate and walk the Race For the Cure…..does anyone agree???

I am truly grateful for studies that link breast cancer with pesticides. Hopefully, the public will eventually wake up and stop spraying pesticides in schools, offices, homes, communities.. and on our food. Stop wasting tax payers money by spraying “invasive” plants in our parks. It would be nice to be able to go outside and breathe CLEAN air!!! That would be a real treat.

These chemicals such as PCBs, toxaphene, chlordane and Lindane are still used in megaton quantities in the developing world. Recent research has shown thet these uses supply North Americans with hundreds of millions of molecules per breath full and seriously pollute our waters and wildlife. Seehttp://www.scienceagogo.com/news/pops.shtml for insite into this forgotten problem.

Reading the studies is confusing, and we are compiling a list of items which commonly contain these chemicals, as well as possible alternatives/solutions, so that those concerned about breast cancer can begin to take action now. This can be found at http://www.avoidcancernow.com, on the left side of the home page under breast cancer news.

Thanks for fighting the fight!
