[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because HRT. Women are on BCP in their teens through forever. All that estrogen builds up. I stopped taking BCP in my 20s and will never do HRT. [/quote] Nonsense. You know scientists actually study this? If HRT or hormonal birth control was a massive risk in breast cancer, the statistics would bear it out - they don’t. The risk of both is small, much smaller than other lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, alcohol use, etc. Cancer is generally a disease of aging, with a few exceptions. The older you are, the higher your risk for most cancers. I highly recommend you read The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer. [/quote]
