Re: The Pink-tober Madness begins!

How about this commercial for Pink Lemonade energy drink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na-RNv2v5io

It's unbelievable how this stuff has not been regulated or taken off the market. It's like telling a smoker to buy cigarettes. I think these drinks are adding to the problem of stimulating our already exhausted adrenals.

Denise, I too like pink, but I absolutely cringe when I see the pink bombardment. It was especially hard in Oct of 2011 when I was diagnosed with the sternal metastasis and was VERY aware that I had breast cancer, to go into the stores without feeling like I wanted to cry. Not enough funds are going into research for metastatic breast cancer and too many people are making money off our hardships.
