Mainstream medicine praises the mammogram time and time again, but are we being duped? Between false positives, false negatives, over-diagnosis, over treatment and radiation exposure, is it ALL WORTH IT? A recent study on mammograms, the largest and longest to date from the British Medical Journal concluded, “Annual mammography in women aged 40-59 does not reduce mortality from breast cancer beyond that of physical examination or usual care when adjuvant therapy for breast cancer is freely available. Overall, 22 percent of screen detected invasive breast cancers were over-diagnosed, representing one over-diagnosed breast cancer for every 424 women who received mammography screening in the trial.”
Dr. Mercola explains, “It appears once again, major industry defenders will remain in complete denial and do anything possible to put profits before people. An annual mammogram is the conventional go-to “prevention” strategy for breast cancer. But researchers increasingly agree that mammography is ineffective at best and harmful at worst. Unfortunately, breast cancer is big business, and mammography is one of its primary profit centers. This is why the industry is fighting tooth and nail to keep it, even if it means ignoring the truth.” Keep reading from Dr. Mercola…
