Lipstick Lovers – what’s in your lipstick?

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Ladies, the average woman will eat 7 pounds of lipstick in their life. Make sure the brand you use doesn’t contain lead. Cancerous breast biopsies show higher accumulations of iron, nickel, chromium, zinc, cadmium, mercury and lead than non-cancerous biopsies, and several metals act like estrogen in the presence of some breast cancer cells. One metal that’s great for your body.. Iron! Found in leafy greens it’s necessary for blood oxygenation. For more info check out our HEALTH page.

University San Diego Breastival December 2009

Friday, December 11th, 2009

December 3 Young Survival Coalition, Keep A Breast Foundation, and Scripps Breast Care Center participated in the Kappa Kappa Gamma Breastival at the University of San Diego. The goal of the Breastival was to increase awareness of the incidence of breast cancer in young women ages 20-39 and to promote breast health awareness through activities that would capture the attention of college age women. The students participated in a number of games including “Pin the Nipple on the Breast,” “Guess the Celebrity Bra Size,” etc. Breast Models were used to teach students how to do a self breast exam.

Prior to the “American’s Breast Dance Crew” dance contest, Amanda Nixon and Lauren Parks spoke to a group of 200 college students in regards to their experience with breast cancer. Their personal stories were touching and left an impressionable message: young women do get breast cancer. Students were encouraged to be aware of their bodies and have changes check out by their physician.

Non Toxic Revolution! The Household Product Labeling Act!!!

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

ntr-artIf you have looked at our Health page recently you can read all about all the dangerous chemicals in your everyday household cleaning products that linked to cancer, early puberty, birth defects and asthma. The ingredients are hardly ever labeled on the product because no law requires it, so they’re hard to avoid.
The Household Product Labeling Act (S. 1697), introduced in September 2009 by Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., aims to give consumers the right to know what’s in these products, and it needs your support.

Join the Revolution!

Use the form on the breast cancer fund site to ask your senators to co-sponsor the bill.
