Well, now that I have your attention, let's talk about bads – seriously.
Let's talk about bads Istock
Since then Breast Cancer Awareness Month, what better time to break some bad cancer myths and deepen some prevention tips – and who would be best able to seek the advice of experts, then Dr. Kristi Funk, Beverly Hills-based bad cancer surgeon and famous physician behind Angelina Jolie and Sheryl Crow, two surgeries for bad cancer
Funk is also the co-founder of the Pink Lotus Breast Center , whose sole mission is to provide low-income, uninsured and under-insured women with 100% free access to cancer screening and care to women who will be diagnosed with bad cancer out of 8. As if what prec is not impressive enough, Funk has just published Amazon's number 1 book, Tits: the owner's manual and for the month of October, she's partnere in Silk to spread the benefits of soy. Irina Gerry, brand manager at Silk, said: "We are delighted to be working with Dr. Funk for her support of soybeans. There are many misconceptions about the impact of soy on the body. Dr. Funk has done extensive research on this topic and as a credible bad cancer surgeon, we are delighted that she can speak authentically about the benefits of soy. Together, we are clear on soy, a potent vegetable protein to enjoy!
We may not all see Dr. Funk as a patient, but here are the biggest myths about bad cancer that she feels need to be addressed, tips on prevention + screening should be shared and his advice on bad self-examinations by
Soy Planting
MYTH # 1: Soy contains plant-based estrogens that nourish and feed cancer cells.
In fact, I have perpetuated this myth with my patients for years and it was only when was writing my book that I realized that I was wrong about soy! Animal studies were contradictory about this plant-based estrogen, and the chemical structure strangely resembles that of real estrogen. I have therefore advised against consuming it. However, since 2009, human studies have been numerous and all are clear: soy isoflavones inactivate the estrogen receptors attached to cancer cells and deactivate the enzyme in your fat cells that extracts more of the cells. 39; estrogen from other steroids such as testosterone. Consuming soy is not only safe, it also reduces the incidence of bad cancer, recurrence and the number of deaths after diagnosis! I teamed up with Silk Soy Milk in October especially to break that myth. Silk still uses 100% non-genetically modified soy beans of national origin and is made from whole soy beans, and not from the isolate, two good reasons to choose Silk. A cup of their soy milk contains 5 to 9 grams of protein, vitamin D and twice the calcium of its milk equivalent. Consume two to three 1/2 cup servings of soy a day: soy milk, tofu, edamame, soy, miso, tempeh are excellent ready-to-eat meals.
DNA Molecule
MYTH 2: When it comes to bad cancer, genetics matters more than anything else.
Patient after patient, she tells me that there is no bad cancer in her family and that she is therefore not really at risk. Yet, 87% of women diagnosed with bad cancer do not have a single first-degree relative with bad cancer. In fact, only 5 to 10% of bad cancers are hereditary, that is, they occur because abnormal genetic mutations are pbaded from parent to child. Consider this fact: the identical twin sister of a woman with bad cancer has only a 20% chance of getting bad cancer one day – which, by the way, presents the same risk than anyone with an affected sister. Given that these twins share exactly the same DNA, if genetics call all injections against cancer, the risk should be around 100% – but this is not the case because genes are not the ultimate end – many people think so.
Deodorant
MYTH # 3: Antiperspirants and deodorants cause bad cancer.
You can officially slow down your search for the ultimate natural substitute as there is no scientific evidence to suggest that antiperspirants or deodorants cause bad cancer due to toxin accumulation or exposure to aluminum or parabens.
Dr. Main Funk tips for bad cancer prevention :
- Eat a full herbal diet that favors vegetables, fruits, 100% whole grains and legumes (beans, peas, lentils), soybeans, ground flaxseed; minimize saturated fats, simple sugars, processed foods and refined grains.
- Exercise 5 hours a week if you are doing a moderate exercise, or 2.5 hours a week if vigorous and sweaty workouts are your preference.
- Reach your ideal body weight and stay there forever
- Minimize or eliminate the consumption of alcohol: 7 glbades or less a week; if you drink, choose 4 to 8 ounces of red wine.
- Limit stress: aspire to 20 minutes daily of prayer, meditation, tai chi, yoga, guided imagery, targeted

Dr. Funk's advice to women regarding bad exams (how old to start, how often, what to expect during an exam, how take charge of your patient's experience when she consults a doctor, etc.):
In adolescence, learn how to do a bad self-examination (BSE) and to do it every month, a week after the start of your period, because the more you learn to recognize bumps and bumps, the more you'll be familiar with the changes that will happen in the future.
If you have a family history of bad cancer before the age of 50, your mother or father (regardless of the relationship between the blood and the person with cancer) should plan for themselves a visit of advice and badessment of genetic risk, the result: who will inform you more about your own risks. Be aware however that teenage bad cancer is a reportable phenomenon, with chances of being less than one in a million.
Breast Self Exam
Women ages 20 to 30 must take bad health more seriously than they did. when they were younger. If this is your case, do your BSE once a month, a week after the start of your period or the first day of each month if you do not have any rules. Go to the gynecologist for a manual office examination, called the Breast Clinical Exam, every three years, and schedule a genetic counseling and risk badessment visit if it is appropriate because of family cancers. Women under forty years old with bad cancer have more aggressive tumors, so it's essential to stay informed.
A decade or two later, in your forties, continue to get BSE once a month, but start consulting your gynecologist every year for an hour. CBE for the rest of your life. You will also need to add a mammogram once a year and if your bads are dense, also have an ultrasound. And from now on, that's the market, ladies, whether you're in your 50s, 70s or 90s.
Mammography Screening Procedure
If you're considered high risk, we will add a little more all these tips. Different factors determine what makes a woman at high risk, the main one being whether markable lesions have been identified in your own bad tissue and how many members of your family have had bad cancer, especially under 50 . If this sounds like you, take a look at our free and anonymous quiz about genetics. Talk to your doctor about more frequent tests that start ten years before the youngest of your youngest relatives have cancer, and make sure you learn about the EPC twice a year, annual mammograms, and possibly an ultrasound and / or MRI of the bad. You may also want to discuss the benefits of drugs and risk-reducing operations.
Expect a slight start and embarrbadment from mammography. Studies have shown that it is painless for about 45% of women, a little painful for 40% and rather painful for the rest, but that the pain disappeared in seconds to minutes for 89% of women. Try programming your mammogram in the third week of your menstrual cycle to decrease sensitivity. In addition, taking acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) or NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, ibuprofen) thirty minutes before imaging might help.
