(The Best Years in Life) February is National Cancer Prevention Month, yet one might never know it given the lack of publicity and efforts given to actually preventing cancer. Instead, even during the month designated to focus on prevention, the lions share of attention continues to be given to “cancer awareness” and the the huge charities such as the Susan B. Komen Foundation, whose efforts are largely centered around “finding a cure”.

Obviously, the best way to beat cancer is to avoid getting it to begin with. Yet the big cancer charities continue to focus their efforts on early detection and dangerous procedures such as mammograms and little attention or research is directed towards what is far and away the number one cause of cancer: toxins. Sadly, the lack of attention given to prevention and toxins is largely due to two facts:
First of all, cancer has become a bloated $400 Billion a year goliath and there is no profit in preventing cancer. And secondly, programs such as Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) have been a deliberate deception from the very beginning and few people who few people who participate, donate or buy pink-themed products are aware of the “pinkwash” which has helped “do-gooder” sponsors hide their own culpability while promoting products which cause cancer.
In the beginning
Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) was launched in 1987 by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), a British chemical company which has been a world leader in manufacturing cancer-causing pesticides, plastics and other products. From day one, ICI and later spin-off Zeneca have used BCAM to direct research and prevention efforts away from chemical carcinogens.
To this day, not a word can be found in any of the BCAM literature suggesting that decreasing exposure to chemical carcinogens or dietary changes can help play a role in cancer prevention.
Examples of BCAM sponsors who promote cancer causing products:
General Electric (GE)
GE, a major polluter of carcinogenic PCBs in a 200 mile stretch of the Hudson River, sells upwards of $100 million annually in mammography machines. BCAM emphasizes encouraging yearly mammograms. The trademark slogan is “Early Detection is Your Best Prevention.” Though it is too late to prevent cancer once it has been detected, 37 percent of American women believe that mammograms somehow prevent breast cancer.
While mammograms have never prevented a single instance of cancer, radiation from routine mammography causes tens of thousands of cases of breast cancer each year. The National Cancer Institute reports that mammography may cause 75 cases of breast cancer for every 15 it identifies in younger women. Additionally, mammograms misidentify tumors 70 percent of the time, resulting in huge numbers of unnecessary and invasive biopsies.
Monsanto
Biotech giant Monsanto is a major sponsor BCAM’s high profile event, the Race for the Cure. At the same time, Monsanto reaps huge profits from products which cause breast and other cancers. A study published in the October, 2012 edition of the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology provided unprecedented evidence of the cancer causing dangers of the combination of Monsanto’s genetically modified corn and it’s herbicide Roundup.
Cow’s treated with Monsanto’s genetically engineered rBGH growth hormone produce milk with up to 10 times the normal Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-1). IGF-1 has been identified as a leading risk factor for breast cancer as well as other cancers. Studies have shown that women with elevated levels of IGF-1 are seven times more likely to develop pre-menopausal breast cancer.
