This review is from: How to Prevent Breast Cancer (Paperback)

About six years ago my grandmother died of breast cancer at the age of 63 and naturally I wanted to find out what I could do to PREVENT getting this disease. I went to the public library and put in some keywords into the computer and this was the only book that had the keyword PREVENT in the title. I checked the book out, read it, and loved it. It even convinced me to become a vegetarian. It is important that the purchaser realizes that the book concentrates on diet, exercise, and a overall healthy lifestyle which in my opinion is the only way to LOWER YOUR RISK.
It discusses other risks such as early menstruation, first child after age 30, choosing not to breastfeed, late menopause, and harmone replacement therapy. I read this book at the age of 27, I am 31 now and have bought copies for interested family members. I especially like the fact that it was written by several doctors who specialize in the field. If you want the truth about breast cancer prevention, then buy this book, you will not be disappointed.
