(Before It's News)

Based on current incidence rates, 12.4 percent of women born in the United States today will develop breast cancer at some time during their lives

Plant power? 22  out of one hundred thousand women in afghanistan, armenia, china, iran, india and pakistan get breast cancer.

American & west european average?

One in ten.

Angelina jolie is just one..

In China, the breast cancer incidence per 100,000 people is only 18.7. China is ranked the 142th in the world for this disease, compared to the top-ranking United States, which reaches 101.1 breast cancers per 100,000 people of all races and ethnicities.

A similar pattern of disparities applies when looking only within the United States. The rate among Chinese American women is 55 per 100,000 people, compared to 142 per 100,000 among white Americans. Chinese American women enjoy the second lowest rate among Asian ethnic groups, after only Korean Americans.

Checking some other figures, though, could be alarming. Scientists have found breast cancer rates among Chinese women who have been in the United States for more than ten years to be 80 percent higher than their newly arrived peers. And the rate among American-born Chinese women is almost the same as white women. Furthermore, in China, breast cancer rates have jumped more than 20 percent over the past ten years. The situation is worse in big cities. In Shanghai, for example, the rate increased 31 percent during this period.

Many studies have examined the association between these disparities in breast cancer rates and dietary habits. A study released this past summer by the Philadelphia-based Fox Chase Cancer Center found that a Western-style diet greatly increased breast cancer risk for post-menopausal Chinese women.

    One of the latest discoveries on the cause of breast cancer is from drinking bottled water, where it’s been stored in a hot car in a plastic bottle. The water warms up dissolving the chemicals in the plastic into the water.
