Breast cancer awareness month is over but the fight to find a cure and discuss prevention strategies shouldn’t take a backseat just because the pink ribbons are slowly disappearing from store shelves. If this disease hasn’t touched you, it will because an estimated one in eight women will be diagnosed during her lifetime.

In this TV segment on my home state’s WBAL NBC, I discussed the top research-based preventative measures you can take (thanks to the Continuous Update Project from the WCRF/AICR):

Breast cancer: Give yourself fighting chance | Maryland News – WBAL Home.

Take preventative measures today, share these measures with your friends and family, see your physician for check-ups regularly and support companies that fund breast cancer awareness. Because no one person can decrease the incidence of disease alone.

I had the pleasure of working with Eggland’s Best and Unilever on this segment.
