The Often-Overlooked Way
to Prevent Breast Cancer

It’s not news that environmental toxins cause cancer. But there’s one category of environmental toxins that may be worst of all, especially when it comes to causing breast cancer.

These toxins disrupt your body’s endocrine system, which regulates hormones involved in your metabolism, sleep, mood, sexual function and many more important biological processes. These toxins are called endocrine disrupters, or EDCs for short.

The good news is that you can learn how to avoid them and in the process, help stop breast cancer from developing.

This Toxic Vegetable Is The #1 Danger In Your Diet

There is 1 “toxic” vegetable that you should remove from your diet IMMEDIATELY.

This vegetable could be toxic to your health and may actually be causing weight gain, digestive issues, brain fog, and fatigue.

Many food manufacturers market this 1 vegetable as a “health super food.”

This vegetable is one that most Americans consume on a daily basis.

P.S. There is also a “toxic” plant protein that is hiding in foods that we have considered healthy our entire lives and according to research it could be the #1 biggest danger in the American diet.

Watch The Shocking presentation now before it’s too late.

The endocrine system gets a lot of attention when it comes to adolescence and puberty, but the truth is, it plays a major role in your health no matter your age. Your endocrine system is essentially a collection of glands that produce hormones.

The endocrine system consists of the pituitary gland, thyroid and parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries for females, and testicles for males. Each gland secretes its own hormone, and each hormone targets specific organs or tissues. A few other organs have secondary endocrine functions, such as the kidney secreting renin and erythropoietin hormones.1

In short, your endocrine system is massive, complex, delicate, and wholly essential to the overall balance of your health and ability to stay free of cancer and other diseases. So it’s alarming, to say the least, to read the results of a massive new epidemiological study on the prevalence of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Xenoestrogens: the worst offenders

The study, published in April in the journal Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, shows just how many EDCs are in our world today. You’ll find them in pesticides, in plastics, in virtually anything from a pharmaceutical company, and even in food, water, and air.

Basically, we’re surrounded.

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Hong Kong pointed to EDCs with estrogen-mimicking capability, called xenoestrogens, as the worst offenders when it comes to the development of breast cancer.2

Xenoestrogens are most commonly found in pesticides and synthetic chemicals. They also include mycotoxins, which are naturally-occuring toxins produced by molds and fungi. Studies have confirmed that xenoestrogens are routinely absorbed into our bodies, as they’ve been found in urine, blood and fat tissues.3 Here are just a few xenoestrogens to watch out for…

The pesticide DDT is one of the most aggressive xenoestrogens and is strongly linked to the development of breast cancer. In fact, eleven out of 43 epidemiological studies found associations between DDT and breast cancer incidence, and nine reported higher DDT levels among breast cancer patients than a control group.4

Next are polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which are found in electrical devices such as surface coatings and other materials. The researchers from Finland found 19 studies that linked PCBs to a higher incidence of breast cancer. In addition, both DDT and PCBs were found in the food chain and can be detected in fat tissue and in breast milk.5

Three out of five studies linked PFOAS, which are perfluorooctanoic acids, to breast cancer risk. These are found in both food packaging and cookware. On top of this, four out of six studies linked phthalates—found in shampoos and cosmetics— to increased breast cancer risk, and BPA was linked to more aggressive tumors in one study, though two other studies found no link.6

Parabens, which are commonly used as preservatives in foods and cosmetics, were linked in one study to increased risk of breast cancer as well as an increased risk of death from the disease.7

When it came to mycotoxins, the toxins produced by mold in crops or from fungi, links to breast cancer risk were actually scarce. The same was true of chemicals called PBDEs found in household furniture coatings and appliances, as well as the herbicide atrazine and the industrial by-product dioxine.8 Now, that’s not to say that any of these toxins are good for you, they just didn’t appear to trigger breast cancer.

More good news: phytoestrogens, which occur naturally in plants, such as genistein from soy products, appear to help prevent breast cancer. Researchers found 18 out of 29 epidemiological studies linked genistein to lower breast cancer risk.9

What to do about EDCs

It’s certainly unsettling to think how our endocrine systems are being attacked from all corners with these EDCs, but the researchers behind the massive review point out that some people appear to be more affected by EDCs than others, and a person's reaction depends on numerous factors. For example, researchers say the time of exposure matters, the toxin dose and duration, the age of the individual as well as your specific genotype, meaning your DNA type, can all add up to influence any risk of breast cancer following EDC exposure.

So what should you do? Fortunately, there are lots of simple, easy ways to protect yourself and your family against dangerous EDCs.10 For instance:

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly and often. If the pandemic didn’t get you in this habit, I’m not sure what will. Regular handwashing sends a substantial amount of chemical residue right down the drain. Just do your best to avoid scented soaps and, believe it or not, antibacterial soaps. And make sure you always wash up before eating.
  2. Vacuum and dust frequently. Flame-retardant chemicals are in many of our common household products, including electronics, furniture, and baby products. By dusting with a damp cloth and using a vacuum with a HEPA filter, you can trap a lot of those small particles and keep them from accumulating in your home where you’d end up breathing them in. A lot of these chemicals are linked to both hormone disruption and cancer.
  3. Buy organic foods in their most natural state. Consume organic foods to the maximum extent your means and opportunity permit. And whenever you can, choose whole food products that aren’t processed or packaged. If possible, cook your food in cast iron or stainless steel since EDCs can lurk in nonstick pots and pans. When it comes to tap water, you can reduce your exposure to BPA and other chemicals by running your water through an NSF-certified water filter.
  4. Go scent-free. Fragrances can contain hundreds of synthetic ingredients, and many perfume formulas from companies are claimed as “trade secrets” so it’s hard to know what you’re actually breathing in. But consider that phthalates typically found in perfumes are known hormone disruptors. The fix is to opt for fragrance-free personal care products, cleaning products, laundry detergents, diapers, and even garbage bags.
  5. Avoid plastics when possible. The truth is, plastic is everywhere! And a lot of everyday plastics contain hormone-disrupting chemicals like BPA, PC #7, and PVC #3. (These are the ones where even low-dose exposure can cause significant problems.) Instead, use glass or stainless steel where possible, never microwave anything in plastic, choose beeswax-coated cloth over cling wrap, and replace plastic bags with reusable lunch bags.
  6. Curb your can habit. Canned food is a staple of many kitchens, but too many cans in our food system are lined with BPA to prevent corrosion. Instead, buy fresh, frozen, or dried foods, or opt for glass packaging when possible.

My Takeaway

Doing your part to reasonably avoid chemical exposure, whether from EDCs or other synthetic chemicals, really can make a difference in your fight against illness. I’ve heard from a number of medical professionals who talk about “toxin load” in relation to cancer development, treatment and even recurrence.

In other words, consider your toxin levels and how they accumulate over the years. I like to picture one side of a weighted scale is toxins and on the other side is your health. As toxins start to accumulate, the scale can shift out of balance. Toxins weigh you down and your body’s natural ability to resist their ill effects is overcome by their sheer number. The result can be cancer and other diseases of aging.

Don’t despair because a one hundred percent reduction is nearly impossible. A 25 percent reduction helps and a 50 percent reduction is excellent.

Adopting healthy lifestyle habits to avoid chemicals will limit an astounding number of chemicals from entering your body over the course of years and decades, limiting your toxin load and helping you preserve your good health.  In addition, eating a diet rich in organic fruits and vegetables and little to no processed food will support your body’s natural detoxification process to help it better eliminate any chemicals in your bloodstream.


Anti-Cancer Secret Found in the Leaves
of this Ancient Tree

Among all the health-promoting herbs, plants and foods that were endorsed by the ancients, one stands out as the probable champ for supporting body and mind.

This tree and the oil made from its fruit is mentioned more than 100 times in the Bible and the Quran. It also played a prominent role in the lives of the ancient Greeks, Romans and other people living in and around the Mediterranean.

The tree I’m talking about, if you haven’t guessed it already, is the olive. The latest research on this ancient tree now shows that while olive oil possesses important health benefits, its leaves, because of their unique chemical structure and natural compounds, are probably even more potent in fighting off cancer and other illnesses. Here’s the story…

Can this “Super-Youth” Capsule Mimic
$100,000 Stem Cell Therapy?

The rich aren’t just getting richer…they’re getting YOUNGER too! And they’re doing it with risky, high-end stem cell therapies to replace worn-out, old cells with brand-new young ones.

But you don’t need to shell out $100,000 to look and feel younger. There’s something better and safer…and not only is it well within reach of average folks like me and you! It’s starts working in just minutes!

It’s a remarkable “super-youth” capsule that replenishes your natural supply of stem cells, quickly, safely and naturally – as in, just the way nature intended.

It’s working for aging Hollywood starlets, Silicon Valley and Wall Street millionaires, and its helping “over the hill” athletes regain their championship glory...learn how it can work for you, too.

According to researchers in New Zealand who have analyzed the evidence on the anti-cancer effects of the compounds in olive trees and their leaves, these plants fend off destruction from a relatively harsh environment.1 They must cope with long periods of intense sunlight, attacks from voracious insects and destructive pathogens with, the science shows, their own version of botanical chemical warfare.2

Most exciting, those natural chemical weapons are also great defenders of human health. In particular, a compound called oleuropein possesses remarkable benefits helping the body get rid of cancer.

Oleuropein is found in both olive leaves and olive oil, though it appears it is much more concentrated in the leaves.

Oleuropein fights numerous cancers

Tests in Italy suggest that oleuropein “could have pharmacological application in malignant mesothelioma anticancer therapy” by interfering with mesothelioma cells growing in lung tissue.3 Mesothelioma is a type of lung cancer caused by inhaling harmful particles like asbestos fibers.

In addition, another laboratory test in Italy indicates that olive leaf extract may increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy used against skin cancer. And researchers note that it may protect normal cells from being harmed by chemotherapy as well as lower cancer cells’ resistance to drug treatment.4

Oleuropein may also stop colorectal cancer from spreading. In another Italian study, oleuropein and other natural compounds in olive leaf and olive oil have been shown to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in certain types of colon cancer and keep malignant cells from metastasizing.5

For example, tests show that oleuropein can erect a cellular roadblock that keeps cancer cells from making energy to fuel their life-threatening reproduction and growth. According to researchers in Italy, there’s clear evidence that this olive oil compound can frustrate the energy production in melanoma, colon cancer, breast cancer and chronic myeloid leukemia.6

Best of all, it doesn’t interfere with the energy production of normal, healthy cells. That’s because cancer cells don’t make their energy in the same way normal cells do. As cancer cells indulge in rapid reproduction, they outgrow their blood supply and then often create their own little environmental niche within the body—a so-called “micro-environment”—that’s low in oxygen, or hypoxic.

For normal cells, this hypoxic setting would usually be fatal. The lack of oxygen would snuff out the cellular fires that keep their cellular processes running. But cancer cells activate genes that are normally turned off to deal with this situation and switch their metabolism to glycolysis. When using glycolysis, they consume and ferment extra-large amounts of glucose, a condition referred to as the “Warburg effect” because it was first discovered and described by Nobel Prize winning scientist Otto Warburg in the 1920s.

And even when a tumor grows in a part of the body that has plenty of oxygen available, many cancers still keep producing cellular energy using this fermentation process – though cancer researchers are still debating why they have this energetic preference.

You can think of it this way – picture the body as a restaurant. On one side of the restaurant, normal, well-behaved cells are consuming a healthy dinner with a small glass of wine. On the other side of the room, rambunctious cancer cells are eating junk food – huge amounts of sugar – and washing it down with hard liquor and beer chasers – the fermented products of glycolysis.

In this scenario, oleuropein is the maître d' who finally shows up and refuses to serve anymore sugary junk food and alcohol to the cancer cells and tells them to leave. This type of energetic disciplinary action leads the Italian researchers to conclude that oleuropein may prove useful for helping treat “a wide range of malignancy.”7

Another way in which the olive leaf extracts can protect against cancer – and also defend against heart problems – is by keeping blood pressure under control.

Safe blood pressure reduction

For many years, it’s been well-known that having high blood pressure means running a greater risk for cancer. Exactly why this is true is another puzzle medical researchers haven’t successfully unraveled, but studies in the last few years have confirmed this connection.

A review by scientists in Greece analyzed the results of 85 studies and found strong links between hypertension and kidney, colorectal and breast cancer. However, associations, not quite as robust, were also discovered with cancer of the esophagus, squamous cell carcinoma, liver and endometrial cancer.8

Now, as you’d naturally expect, conventional medicine’s approach to lowering blood pressure is pharmaceuticals. And as you’d naturally expect, the prescription drugs that medical folks use to fight blood pressure can have their own harmful effects…

Like an increased risk for cancer!

That’s right, research on what are called angiotensin converting inhibitor drugs (ACE inhibitors) used to reduce blood pressure show that these compounds can increase your chances of lung cancer.

A study performed by scientists at McGill University in Canada demonstrates that the risk climbs considerably if you use these drugs for five years or more – which many people do.9

And when the folks involved in this investigation – about a million Brits – used these drugs for ten years or more, the risk for lung cancer increased by a frightening 31 percent.

But olive leaf extracts have been shown to lower blood pressure without those kinds of worries and with the irresistible charm that they work as well as drugs. For instance, a test in Asia that compared the effects of olive leaf extract to an ACE inhibitor (Captopril) found that not only did the extract lower blood pressure as much as the pharmaceutical, it also lowered people’s triglycerides-- blood fats that can increase your risk of heart disease. And that was a benefit not produced by the drug.10

All these benefits are impressive – but they only scratch the surface of the benefits of olive leaf extract. There’s other remarkable evidence for its anti-inflammatory effects, benefits as a phytoestrogen (helping to lower breast cancer risk) and use against infections. It’s no wonder olive trees have been cultivated and revered for thousands of years. Their benefits are too valuable for humans to ever let them go extinct.
