The above article discusses a lady who has had a double mastectomy thanks to doctors fearing her into it by telling her she had the cancer gene and had an 85% increased chance of getting it. They pushed her into mutilating herself. Many other have done the same and many more will follow.
What saddens me even more is that she probably would have developed cancer because its likely she sticks to a currently promoted "Healthy" diet with lots of PUFAS, wholegrains, uncooked vegetables whilst avoiding sugar and saturated fat like the plague.
Its a double hit from the medical industry and food industry resulting in bad science and manipulation.
I genuinely believe genetics is almost completely irrelevant (Yes it has relevance for some things) and "Field" is totally relevant. Nurture over Nature all they way.
When I see this it makes me want to yell at people to wake up, take some responsibility in their own health education and start seeing the big picture. That wouldn't help of course!
This all makes me so angry. To top it off a close family member has been diagnosed with cancer which has spread to the pancreas and other key organs, but whenever I am brave enough to mention my views in a VERY diplomatic and caring manor other family members brush it off or even worse get angry thanks to the belief that doctors are infallible. It beggars belief.
Genetics and cancer is all over the news today in the UK. My blood has been boiling at every mention of it so I upped my sugar, salt and sat fat intake to compensate.
