The mission of The Keep A Breast Non Toxic Revolution (NTR)™ is to inform, educate, and inspire young people to revolt against the dangers of toxic chemicals in their environment and food supply—especially those linked to the initiation of breast cancer. Its aim is to focus on prevention as a means to maintaining long-term health and well-being. NTR also provides alternative choices so that young people everywhere can make smart changes.

Of the more than 80,000 chemicals registered for use in the U.S., only about ten percent are tested for safety by the government. Many of these chemicals have been linked to breast cancer and many are in the products we use and foods we eat everyday. NTR educates about the dangers of these toxins and provides safer alternatives.

The NTR program is both an informational resource and a call to action. Backed by its own < a href="http://kabntr.org">website, NTR supports an informational blog network, distributes a newsletter and organizes opportunities to participate and campaign, such as the student-focused Campus Clubs program. The “WTF!?” initiative provides easy to understand explanations of toxins and chemicals commonly encountered on ingredient lists and products labels, from Pthalates to Azodicarbonamide.

How does it support the KAB mission?

NTR provides scientific, factual evidence regarding common cancer-causing toxins, and offers various lifestyle-based alternatives. We partner with scientific groups such as Environmental Working Group (EWG) to get the latest information, and then break down that information into easily understood, action-oriented pieces. This strategy empowers young people to take the next step of making positive lifestyle changes. NTR is a key part of our mission to encourage youth to embrace prevention as a deterrent to breast cancer and other diseases.
