“After treatment, I was in a free fall. The Anticancer Lifestyle Program caught me and gave me the support I really needed.”

“I never imagined the online course would be so comprehensive, enjoyable, and easy to follow! ”

My breast cancer diagnosis was a wake up call. The Diet module helped me to learn the science behind the food rules I followed while raising my kids and has motivated me to get back to that healthier way of cooking and eating. Thank you!

BPA causes DNA damage to and proliferation of breast cells

Environment
Articles & Research

A study by Pfeifer et al, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, found that even at the low doses commonly present in humans, BPA significantly promoted DNA damage and caused proliferation of breast mammary cells.

Humans are exposed to low-dose bisphenol A (BPA) through plastic consumer products and dental sealants containing BPA.

Another study by Dairkee et al, published in the journal Carcinogenesis,  found that BPA disrupts checkpoints that normally cause cell death and that limit cell proliferation. Since BPA binds to estrogen receptors and stimulates DNA synthesis in breast cancer cells (), a role for BPA in breast carcinogenesis has been considered possible.
