Breast cancer: what are the real risk factors?

It first shows that the consumption of tea, coffee , grapefruit and tomatoes do not cause breast cancer ... we suspected a bit! On silicone breast implants , she confirmed that they were responsible . About the possible link between breast cancer and the fact of using a deodorant, wear a bra, or have dense breasts or large after menopause, HAS lack of data to determine definitively .

She has said against tobacco had no effect on this type of cancer. A claim that runs counter to what the inserm published March 20, 2014 : "... the current consumption increases by 16% the risk of breast cancer ...".

The High Authority has also identified seven factors modestly increasing the risk of breast cancer, but require specific monitoring between 50 and 74 years. It is the consumption of alcohol, fatty meats , due to suffering from type 2 diabetes , obesity, taking hormonal contraception, have had a late pregnancy or not having conducted pregnancy. However, with regard to obesity, it has been shown , again by Inserm, that "all studies converge to show that being overweight is a risk factor for certain cancers ( breast, colon, digestive system) and obese patients treated with bariatric surgery ( obesity surgery ) see decrease the probability of occurrence of cancer . " So who to believe?
