Increased breast cancer fits in with Dr. John Lee's theory that these 
toxins produce anovulatory periods witch creates a progesterone 
deficiency.   It appears that progesterone protects against breast 
cancer just as estrogens promote it.   So if these toxins are preventing 
progesterone production (known to balance estrogenic effects in our 
bodies) and replace our own estrogens with much more powerful estrogens 
which cannot be dealt with by our bodies in terms of neutralizing 
too-high levels then VIOLA!!

You have set the stage for breast cancer.
