Breast Cancer

Before I forget......

I don't usually "watch" t.v. during the day, but I do turn it on when am in the kitchen cooking up a meal or snack.. which puts me in line with Good Day Philadelphia and then sometimes Regis and Kelly, The View, Ellen, and Oprah (depends on how hungry I am that day haha). This morning while making an early lunch I was able to catch a small segment of The View that talked about Breast Cancer.. here is a segment from the website:

"In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month Dr. Kristi Funk was here to give helpful tips to women so each day they are doing their very best to prevent the risk of Breast Cancer. Dr. Funk told viewers that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer in their lifetime and the key to surviving is early detection. Dr. Funk has teamed up with Yoplait for a program called "Save Lids to Save Lives" and in honor everyone in our audience went home with a pink 100% cashmere pashmina from Yoplait!"

Some of the facts she was shooting out were pretty interesting:
Green Tea can help reduce the odds
Aspirin 2x/week for 5+ years can help reduce the odds as well
Avoiding a lot of foods with hormones in them (tofu, meat, milk, etc.)
