I was very interested in the straw used in Kenya and would like to contact Linda Freeman to contribute to this cause. I read about this straw and have just returned from Africa and know how desparate the situation is there. Can you give me more information on how to help this situation?

Robert
After 60 years I've seen more studies then I care to remember. At one point in life something that's bad later becomes ok. Now with this study did they say how women live long in countries like France or England where alcohol is drank with every lunch/evening meal and other times. Doctors can't explain why someone like George Burns smoked all his life and died at the age of 100 as they say smoking takes years off your life.
The body tells us what it can deal with and how much. Slaves lived longer then their masters as they had to eat what was considered uneatable food. Look the the South and those home cooked dishes and then go to Europe and check out the menu. There are problems in the US food but drinking isn't the worst. If we had Universal Health care some of these studies wouldn't be necessary. Maybe that's why other countries don't have to wait to find a problem. Then it's always the natural death that man will never understand but try to find a reason to explain.

Again in this story do we hear about the problems estrogen causes in the body. WHY do we not hear about how SOY has the same effect? SOY is in everything!! Breads, sauces, salad dressings, condiments, cookies, chocolate, vegetable oil thus all fast foods. Please Robert, do a story how large corps have squashed stories about the hazards of soy. Soy has been added to the list of allergens at number 8 with peanuts number 1. It causes biological and physiological changes to men and women, making women more susceptible to migraines, tumors; it makes men more feminine resulting in impotence, and shuts down the thyroid for both. Maybe that is contributor to obesity. Consider all that when serving up “healthy” tofu or soy milk.
It is not a some breaking story but in a country going healthy and that has been told for years that soy is good for you. So they feed to their kids who develop trouble learning, and early puberty. Then there are those that like me develop chronic fatigue, joint pain, and migraines, spend thousands of dollars in tests that prove nothing only to find that the bread, mayo, and tuna in my sandwich all contain what has become a poison for me – SOY.
Do a story on that and help Americans help themselves. I am only one voice trying to be heard by those that don’t know what is happening to them. Your voice will reach sooo many more that need to hear this reality.

Signed,
Better now that I am soy-free!

It is not new news that there is a link between breast cancer and alcohol.My friend who testifies for people with toxic mold cases and has written two books and he has known this for years.I have survived breast cancer,Hogkins and a big toxic mold exposure and more but I have been very blessed to learn what I have and I am trying to get a documentary made to educate people on what I have learned.I've never had chemo and unfortunately I had too much radiation treatment for the Hodgkins and did not know until years later.Almost all cancers if not all are linked to fungal,molds and mycotoxins.You breath them and feed it with what you eat and drink.It has been the way of life.Fungal was here before mankind and because of mankind it has had to adapt to its enviorment and it can which makes it harder for us to stay well.My friend is a enviormental specialist and is much more knowledged on all of this than doctors for the simple fact that it was taken out of the text books in the 50's unfortunately.Look in the back of a hematology book under fungal and you will find leukemia,lymphoma, and hodgkins and my friend Mr.Haney can explain exactely what causes breast cancer and in terms you could understand.There is too much for me to say and thaat is why a documentary is vital and I am going to get one out there as soon as I get my teeth fixed because the mercury fillings are turing black and breaking my teeth and I just had hyperbaric oxygen treatments so I could get the teeth fixed without my jaw bone breaking because of the radiation I recieved over 20 years ago and learned about this from my own research once again and it takes money to get your teeth fixed especially properly so I can look good but especially so I can get well and continue my godly journey to educate the public on the these most important issues that I have been blessed to learn basically the hard way.God Bless Belva Edwards

These alcohol intake studies can be quite confusing for us "normal" social drinkers. Do most women REALY drink EVERY day? Are these figures quoted in the studies simply averages per day over a typical week? Most women I know will drink on Friday and Saturday nights and perhaps one additional night per week. If a woman has 2 drinks on the week night and 3 drinks on both Friday night and Saturday night, where does she "fit" in this study??? Very frustrating!

I am not clear that this study proves that alcohol itself raises the risk for breast cancer. People who drink more are probably more likely to smoke, exercise less, and have an unhealthy diet. Did this study control for all other risk factors? If not, then it does not prove that drinking causes breast cancer.

Hi Bob, I feel I have seen you so much I can call you Bob. I had breast cancer in Febuary and I had successful surgery with only raditation, no chemotherapy. I am on medication to stop all estrogene in my body for five years. Does this mean I can have a drink and the medication will still stop the production of estrogene or not. This is soooo confusing.Does anyone know?
Thanks, Evonne

My mom never drank alcohol in her life, and still died of breast cancer at the age of 46.
