Doctors Recommend FDA To Add Breast Cancer Warning Label On Cheese Products: Breast cancer mortality rate is high both in developed and developing countries.
Honoring the month of Breast Cancer Awareness, nearly 12000 doctors, along with a non-profit, recommend the Food and Drug Administration to affix the warning label on the cheese products stating, â€œDiary Cheese contains hormones that may increase breast cancer â€œ.
The demand for breast cancer warning labels has been submitted to the FDA at the beginning of breast cancer awareness programme month on 3rd, October, 2019.
High-fat dairy products pose an increased risk of breast cancer mortality in women all over the world. The Estrogen hormone present in the dairy product such as milk, cheese is biologically active with more concentration; Dairy, when consumed at a higher rate, causes breast cancer mortality risk.
This urged the Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine with many doctors to demand the FDA to promote cheese products with a carcinogenic warning label.
There are many study relations focusing on Dairy and Breast Cancer. The risk of breast cancer mortality is 49% high in women who intake dairy products such as milk, cheese, ice-cream with more portions compared to women with one serving.
The National Institute of Cancer diagnosed American women with breast cancer-consuming American Cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and Macaroni cheese having 53% more mortality risk due to breast cancer.
The cheese manufacturers previously contributed to breast cancer awareness by a pink ribbon on their products. Instead of pink ribbon, non-profit with doctors demands an open awareness of sticking warning labels with a message on cheese products to reduce the mortality risk among women from 2019, says Neal Barnard, President of Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine.
The Committee petition also in need of permanent warning notice on the package of products to the FDA for creating consciousness of women about the risk of death by consuming high-fat dairy products.
Dr.Erica Giblin, Surgeon St Vincent Ascension tells that Breast cancer is Hormone fed; The one thing that makes Hormone is fat outside the ovaries by losing pounds overall.
She also states the importance of mammograms to reduce the risk of mortality with medication and less intake of dairy products, which is responsible for reproductive hormones concentration in the body, increasing breast cancer mortality.
Pat Chaja, Breast Cancer Survivor, advises women not to ignore the mammogram check-up to diagnose breast cancer every year.
In the Breast Cancer awareness month, the Food and Drug Administration makes it a firm warning to Cheese manufacturers by labeling on the product package to increase the survival rate of women suffering from breast cancer.
