This article is about a study that took place at Kaiser in Oakland, showing that drinking alcoholic beverages, all types, can increase a woman's odds of developing breast cancer. Drinking about 3 alcoholic beverages a day can increase one's odds about 30% and just drinking one alcoholic beverage a day can increase one's odds about 10%. Although there have been many studies on alcohol's impact on breast cancer, this one proved what others were looking for; that ALL drinks with alcohol increase women's odds of developing breast cancer. I thought this article was interesting, since I'm a girl and that all women, including me, are at risk whether or not they drink alcoholic beverages. I also found it interesting because in the article, it says that the Bay Area has the most women with breast cancer than the rest of the nation.

I would agree that really is unbeleivable that the city officials of San Francisco would give drug abusers a place to conduct such activities. Unless they are just supplying a place so that they can gather them all together and then catch them but either way we would really never know.
Wow thats really scary.. I wonder why women in the Bay Area have a higher risk of breast cancer.
