Re: environmental research
Yes indeed !! Many cancers are not from family history, but other factors like environment, diet, lifestyle etc.

Re: environmental research
Very true. Actually I learned in school recently that today only about 10-15% of breast cancers are hereditary. There is so much we use on a daily basis - sunscreen, bug repellant, lotions, etc. - that acts as 'xenoestrogens' - our bodies can't recognize them, so they read them as estrogens. This throws off our whole reproductive system.
