Our daughter who weighed 115 pounds and ate very healthily and exercised...developed a very aggressive breast cancer at the age of 29.

I know VP's oft stated theory about genetics and what switches it on, but it doesn't line up with the information that I have read.

Yes it does help to keep your weight down, particularly in trying to prevent breast cancer because all tissue produces estrogen, it also is wise to avoid soy products because they mimic estrogen, not take birth control pills and Hormone Replacement Therapy. She took none of these.

I feel in my heart, due to what I have read with my eyes and processed with my brain that if every living soul followed VP's idea of what is healthy to eat and kept themselves as thin as he think is best,and exercised from childhood on....., that cancer and disease would still happen, maybe less, but it would STILL happen The Okinawans are pretty much a group without intermarriage, where we are the melting pot here in U.S. So genetics and other factors skew those numbers.

And I also feel in my bones that NOTHING will convince VP otherwise.

I think it is kind of him to worry so much about all of us.
