WHY BREAST CANCER LOVES DENMARK
The incidence of breast cancer is directly related to the fat in a nation's diet. In
Thailand, where the average person gets 250 calories per day from fat, the annual
number of breast-cancer deaths per 100,000 population is less than one. At the other
end of the scale is Denmark, where fat intake averages nearly 1500 calories per day
and breast-cancer deaths number 23 per 100,000. In the United States, the figures
are near Denmark's: 1350 calories a day and 21 deaths per 100,000.
Both the American Cancer Society and the National Institutes of Health recommend
lowering your fat intake if you want to reduce your risk of cancer. The Institute of
Medicine suggests getting no more than 30 percent of your calories from fat. The
national average is closer to 35 percent, and many people average 40 percent or more.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
