Re: Oh no! Not ice cream, too! Risk of death from bc increases in survivors overind

The dairy issue is in The China Study. I have the book somewhere around the house. It connected increased consumption of milk with higher cancer rates.

I do take feel that our "acceptance" of the current treatments for cancer is part of the problem. As consumers who are voting with our dollars, we need to demand more effective treatments with less toxic side effects.

I look at some of the studies and think, really? Who thought these up? Where is the Kadcyla/TDM1 comparison to a taxane for early breast cancer? Where is the comparison of a combination of Herceptin/Perjeta against a taxane for early breast cancer?

Are there not studies that show exercising at a certain level gives a tremendous benefit in reduction in recurrence.

Why are more women not flocking into vaccine trials for prevention or recurrence?

Are we too accepting of the sacrifice of our quality of life for a longer and miserable quantity?

I think that we all should be asking more questions about cancer treatment and cancer prevention.

I'm bombarded with conflicting studies . . . who can you really believe.

a little frustrated with the current paradigm in cancer treatment and voicing my concerns . . .

I've already omitted the whole milk, and added almond and soy.
