The big turmoil over breast cancer screening merits a second look – so I hope you’ll read the comprehensive report that came in my email this morning. I’ve always had a little feeling that “That can’t be good for you,” but these studies show WHY it isn’t good to keep subjecting your body to mamograms. [...]
