Breast Cancer Awareness Tip No. 17:
Beauty blogger Kalle of Face Candy lost her father to breast cancer, so this tip is for all the men in our lives.
For now, the best strategies for reducing the number of deaths caused by this disease are early detection and prompt treatment. Early detection has been a problem for men, who tend to ignore breast lumps and see their doctor only when they have gotten large. In general, men are diagnosed with cancers at more advanced stages than are women.
Whether you are a man or woman, learn how to perform a self breast exam and perform it every month, please.
Please visit Face Candy today and read Kyle's story and leave a comment. For each comment, Kyle will personally donate $4 to breast cancer research.

Breast Cancer Prevention Tip No. 16:
Try to breathe clean air.
We may unwittingly expose ourselves to estrogen imposters in our air, food, and water known as xenoestrogens (pronounced zeno-estrogens) that mimic the unhealthful properties of estrogen in the breast tissue. Herbicides and pesticides are a few examples of potential xenoestrogens that we may be exposed to in our air, food, or water. A healthy environment free from xenoestrogen contaminants will help insure a healthy future.

Before you go, get your breast cancer awareness tip No. 14:
Consider limiting fat in your diet. Results from the most definitive study of dietary fat and breast cancer risk to date suggest a slight decrease in risk of invasive breast cancer for women who eat a low-fat diet. But the effect is modest at best. However, by reducing the amount of fat in your diet, you may decrease your risk of other diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke. And a low-fat diet may protect against breast cancer in another way if it helps you maintain a healthy weight — another factor in breast cancer risk. For a protective benefit, limit fat intake to less than 35 percent of your daily calories and restrict foods high in saturated fat.
