The Dioxin thing REALLY bothered me treamendously! From the standpoint that they made us think that things were "microwavable". It's sickening!

I found out about the plastics about 2-3 months before I learned about my cancer gene, and unfortunatly my 3 children having the gene. At the time though, I was furious! I felt like this might be the REAL reason I got cancer! I had decided that I had done everything right for diet, but that still wasn't enough...it had to be something else. I wish that were only true... Because then, my 3 children wouldn't be facing the same odds I was.

I love information. But at times, I feel that it doesn't always answer the real question. What causes cancer? For some of us, probably most of us under 50 - it's genes. (I personally feel the number is much higher that 10% because those past 50 don't make up 90% of breast cancer diagnoses.) For others, getting older and immune systems not working as well. No matter what I read, I always try and focus on what I can do to help my immune system and cells work more effenciently in a world plagued with bad chemicals and toxins.
Lots of love for you all, Julie
