Will you be changing your drinking habits?
The American Medical Association today reported that 100,000 women were followed in a study over 28 years and the conclusion is that having less than one drink a day (even a glass of wine) could increase your risk of breast cancer.
Three to six glasses of alcohol/week increases your risk of breast cancer by 15% and two glasses/day increases your risk to 51%.
It was further reported that 11% of breast cancer is related to alcohol consumption because alcohol increases levels of estrogen which fuels tumor creation and growth.

Please follow this link for this very important information: http://www.newsday.com/news/postmenopause-hormone-pills-linked-to-kidney-stones-1.2351965?p=
At risk alarms are ringing yet again for post menopausal women taking “hormone pills, Pempro, pills containing estrogen plus progestin, or Premarin, estrogen-only pills.” These alarms are warning these women they are at risk for developing kidney stones.
As always discuss the risk vs. benefit with your physician. We already know that hormone replacement medication has been linked with heart attacks, breast cancer & strokes. It is further recommended that if you must take these medications take them for as short a period of time as possible to limit your health risks.
Be well you all…
