Give Your Phone Space
We don’t know the impact of cellphone radiation on things like sperm count and breast cancer, so let’s keep phones out of the bra.
Get Outside
Vitamin D is so important, yet so many of us lack it. Spending time soaking in the sun—wearing non-toxic sunscreen of course.
Ditch the Plastic
Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates are toxins found in many plastics that have links to breast cancer and other health problems.
Explore Birth Control
A recent study suggests a correlation between hormonal birth control and slight increase in breast cancer risk.
