Hi Dr. Jones- This list is very helpful, thank you. However, could you help me understand something? How is it that estrogen, which exists naturally in the body, is considered such a culprit? Estrogen itself is a menace to women, and now even moderate drinking creates deadly imbalances in estrogen? Surely women have been drinking wine for millenia? And the health benefits to circulation and digestion of moderate alcohol consumed with food are very well known. I just don’t understand the emphasis on a naturally-occurring hormone, and that the disruptions to that hormone come from wine or a little extra body fat, when there’s hardly any discussion of the toxic chemical and electromagnetic pollution that permeates our industrial environment? Everything from the air we breathe, to the water we drink, to the food we eat, to the products we put on our hair and skin. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide on this matter.

Carrie,
I love what you wrote–it’s so concise and relevant.
You might love to check out this site to see the studies finding correlations between cosmetics/personal care products and breast cancer. Their recording a recent webinar done by Stacy Malkan, author of “Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry” is phenomenal, highly recommended.
Take care,
Katie
