Women in the country are being sold a dangerous bill of goods! Consider the fact that the routine practice of taking four films of each breast annually results in approximately 1 rad (radiation absorbed dose) exposure, which is about 1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray. Even the American Cancer Society lists high-dose radiation to the chest as a medium to high risk factor for developing cancer. Up until 10 years ago, they were telling us that HRT is good for us and prevents cancer. Now it's known to increase cancer risk. 10 years from now, it will be proved out that mammography actually increases the instance of breast cancer! Missing from the health care debate these days is an analysis of the dangerous and false myths that are promoted by the medical establishment!
