[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just like to point out that if estrogen truly caused breast cancer, the rate would be much higher among pregnant women and young women. In fact, the most common time to get breast cancer is 50s and beyond, after you have gone through menopause and basically have no estrogen in your body. [/quote] It doesn’t cause it. It causes the cancer cells to grow and multiply. Your body produces mutated cells. A lot of times you body is able to handle them and kill them off. Sometimes it cannot. Estrogen helps the mutated cell survive and cause problems. You do have estrogen post-menopause. That is why your adipose tissue matters then. It is how your body produces estrogen when your ovaries do not. Which is why aromatase inhibitors exist. [/quote]
