NEW Studies Reveal Alarming Hidden Cause of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in women

worldwide and breast cancer rates are increasing rapidly.

A compelling number of studies, though not all, have

shown that free iron concentrations in breast tissue, especially the

ductal tissue, is playing a major role in stimulating

cancer development and eventual progression to aggressive, deadly

cancers.

Cancers are Very Dependent on Iron

Iron is needed for DNA replication in rapidly

dividing

cells.

3

A recent report from the Department of Biomolecular

Sciences in Urbino Italy, found that fluid taken from the nipple of

cancer patients contained significantly higher levels of aluminum than

did nipple fluid taken from women without breast

cancer—approximately twice as much

aluminum.

4

A number of studies have found that extracting nipple

fluid by a breast pump (in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women)

is a simple way to study the microenvironment of the

ductal tissue, the site of development of most breast

cancers.

5

Examining this ductal fluid is an excellent way to measure such things as

iron levels, ferritin (an iron-binding protein), CRP (a measure of breast

inflammation) and aluminum.

The researchers also found that women with breast

cancer had much higher levels of ferritin, an iron

transport protein, in their breast fluid, which was 5X higher in women

with breast

cancer.

6

This observation has been confirmed in other studies.

In previous studies researchers found that one's

intake of iron did not necessarily correlate with risk of breast cancer,

but rather the release of iron from its protective proteins, such as

ferritin and transferrin was

critical.

7

This distinction is very important and explains why some studies found no

link between iron intake in the diet and breast cancer

incidence.

8

Free Iron Can Be Very Dangerous

Over 90% of iron absorbed from your diet is normally bound to these

protective proteins. Recent studies have shown that some things we do can

cause too much of the iron to be released into surrounding tissues, and

if this iron exists as free iron, it can trigger intense inflammation,

free radical generation and lipid peroxidation.

Bound iron is relatively harmless.

So, what can cause these protective proteins to release their iron?

One factor is an excessive alcohol intake. Studies by Lee et al have

shown that women who drink greater than 20 grams of alcohol a day

significantly increase the free iron in their breast tissue and have a

higher incidence of invasive breast cancer—the most deadly

form.

9

It has also been shown that excessive estrogen can displace iron from its

protective proteins, thus increasing free iron levels and associated

breast cancer risk.

10 This helps explain the link between high estrogen

levels and breast cancer.

Of more importance than the total intake of iron is where the iron ends

up that is absorbed from your food.

As stated, most of it is bound to protective proteins, such as

transferrin in the blood and ferritin within cells. If you have a lot of

extra space within these proteins for binding iron, then a high dietary

iron intake would be less harmful.

Previously it was thought that a spillover of free iron occurred only

when the protective proteins (tranferrin and ferritin) were fully

saturated, as we see with the condition hemochromatosis.

How Aluminum and Alcohol Worsen Iron Toxicity

We now know that both aluminum and alcohol can displace the iron from

its protective proteins, raising the level of harmful free iron, even

when these protective proteins are not fully saturated with

iron.

9

If this occurs within the breast, as this study demonstrates, free

iron levels in the breast ductal tissue can become dangerously high and

over time induce malignant tumor formation.

The question to be asked is--where did the aluminum come from?

The authors of the paper suggested underarm antiperspirants as a

possibility. But, there is another source that is becoming increasingly a

problem and that is from vaccine adjuvants.

Vaccines are a Major Source of Aluminum for Many

Many inactivated vaccines contain aluminum salts

to boost the immune reaction. Studies have shown that this aluminum is

slowly dispersed all over the body and may be concentrated in breast

ducts.

11

The amount of aluminum in vaccines is tremendous, especially in

such vaccines as the anthrax vaccine, hepatitis vaccine and tetanus

vaccine.

Since many American children are being exposed to multiple doses of

aluminum containing vaccines by the time they are 6 years old, one would

expect very high exposures to injected aluminum.

A recent study by Lucija

Tomljenovik and Shaw found that a newborn

receives a dose of aluminum that exceeds FDA safety limits (5mg/kg/day)

for injected aluminum by 20-fold, and at 6 months of age a dose that was

50-fold higher than FDA safety

limits.

12

Aluminum at this young age will accumulate in various tissues and with

new vaccine recommendations, children and young adults may be exposed to

many more aluminum containing vaccines every year throughout life.

With the ability of aluminum to displace iron from

its protective proteins, we may not only see a dramatic increase in

breast cancer, but also other iron-related diseases, such as liver

degeneration, neurodegenerative disease, diabetes,

heart failure and

atherosclerosis.

13 No one is addressing this very real danger.
