[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really baffled.  Why is suggesting that putting equal emphasis on good diet with special attention to fruits and veggies, exercise, and low or no alcohol consumption IN ADDITION TO MAMMOGRAMS been construed as a false promise of cancer immunity or blaming victims or sneering at overweight individuals???

Breast cancer is a nasty disease that no one deserves to get for any reason.  And no amount of pure living can guarantee one will not get it.  Nor will an annual mammogram.  I think we can all agree that we would like to see the number of cases decline as quickly as possible to zero.  My ONLY comment was that achieving that outcome would require addressing both screening AND prevention.  And some good luck is also obviously required at the individual level.

I have obviously offended nearly everyone here, so I will not post again.  My apologies.[/quote]

You haven't offended me.  But I just hear that - eat a healthy diet/exercise as a cure all for preventing everything. You can absolutely do all of that and still get sick.

Do that stuff because it makes YOU feel better today and because YOU want to do it.  Don't assume that you will never get sick though.

Good luck to you though.

You need to reread their post.[/quote]

No, I think I get the points in their post.  [/quote]
"Some good luck is obviously required" is the part you conveniently IGNORED. Sorry, but I'm tired of people like you.[/quote]

That's o.k. You don't have to agree with a thing I do or say.  Just live your life and do what is best for you.[/quote]
