I Make a Good Point

I just read this article that really struck home with me. Here we are raising money for breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, leukemia, etc. We are raising a TON of money to find a cure for these diseases, but what we really need to do is find what's causing these nasties. We need to prevent these diseases from ever happening in the first place.

Here is the article I read:

What are we eating? What are we cleaning with? What are we exposing ourselves to? I read in an opinion article in the NYT that the risk that a 50-year-old white woman will develop breast cancer has soared to 12 percent today, from 1 percent in 1975. (Some of that is probably a result of better detection.) Younger people also seem to be developing breast cancer: This year a 10-year-old in California, Hannah, is fighting breast cancer and recording her struggle on a blog. http://www.ourlittlesweetpea.com.

Okay, so now-a-days everything causes cancer. Since so many things supposedly cause cancer now, maybe we're just giving up on caring? No! Don't give up on living healthy! Just stay away from microwaves, use vinegar to clean you house to avoid those nasty cleaning chemicals, and for heaven's sake, DON'T SMOKE!!

That is all. Continue hoping forward!
