New Research Reveals Unforeseen Side Effect of the Breast Cancer Movement

PHILADELPHIA and SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A groundbreaking study developed by Breastcancer.org reports that American girls are significantly affected by the steady stream of information and messaging around breast cancer. This study surveyed over 2,400 girls ages 8-18. Some of the key findings from this research revealed that nearly 30% of the girls surveyed believed that a normal sign of breast development was a symptom of breast cancer, and more than 20% of girls believed that infection, tanning, drug use and stress could cause cancer.
