Best book on the subject so far

Finally, someone has written an intelligent discussion of why this epidemic is plaguing us. The writing is very articulate. The authors really know what they are talking about.

A watershed look at breast cancer

This book represents a new view of breast cancer from the perspective of a group of commited feminists and founders of the women's health movement. Through this book, we learn to understand breast cancer and how it impacts on poor women as well as the important environmental links to breast cancer.
