Description
This book promises to be THE DEFINITIVE WORK on breast cancer prevention. The author takes his readers step-by-step through major risk factors, focusing initially on a woman's natural production of estrogens. Estrogens are the major risk determinants & contributory factors to this disease. But as worrisome as these & other documented risks appear to be, there lies a provocative, preventive strategy to which women can avail themselves. 46,000 lives will be lost this year alone to breast cancer. Even so, the future looks surprisingly bright. According to the nation's foremost scientific authorities, even prior risk factors such as early menarche & late menopause may be reversible. Interviews with professors from HARVARD, BERKELEY, & USC illuminate each chapter. These noted researchers reveal their groundbreaking work on breast cancer prevention. Readers learn how their own physiological functions, i.e. estrogen metabolism, relate to disease risk & how to modify such functions via a variety of lifestyle strategies. The author clearly & concisely addresses his lay audience & summarizes with an easy-to-follow lifestyle modification program, which will empower women of all ages against this illness. As such, this revealing presentation could not have come a moment too soon! To order contact: Advances One (800) 423-8688 or (415) 661-4222.
