"Pink Washing" Month is here!

Start your engines . . . "pink washing" month has begun and the "sea of pink" always makes me feel a bit queazy 'cuz who really profits?

Here's a challenge to all the "Pink Washers."  Since the National Cancer Institute and American Institute for Cancer Research shows that as much as 50% of cancer risk may be related to diet . . . let's encourage all the organizations that are funding "breast cancer research" to pledge 50% of their research dollars to breast cancer and nutrition research.  And, those academic institutions and organizations make a pledge that they will not allow their research to be influenced, guided, directed or in any respect tainted by the food and beverage industries.  (And, indirectly the pharmaceutical companies.)

Who really profits?

Check out the organization that coined the phrase: "Pink Washing" and hopes you'll Think Before You Pink!

p.s. I worked with a molecular biologist from China and she shared with me that her PhD dissertation showed that a fried chicken leg has more carcinogens than a pack of cigarettes.  She went totally vegan when she was experiencing "female problems" here in the States and her mother (back in China) told her to stop eating our food.

Remember those countries that consume the most dairy have the highest breast cancer rates.

Best health always,
