The Perfect Storm Theory of Breast Cancer: Environmental and Chemical InfluencesWhy have governments allowed a continuous use of these agents when the cancer link has been well proven for almost 50 years?The perfect storm theory of breast cancer suggests that a confluence of environmental and chemical factors has contributed to a rise in breast cancer rates over the past several decades.
This theory points to two key periods when significant changes in the use of certain chemicals may have played a role in increasing cancer risks.
The first period occurred in the 1970s, when brominated fire retardants and pesticides were introduced around the same time that iodate was replaced with bromate in bread products. Bromate, a compound that interferes with iodine, became a common ingredient in food production, potentially disrupting normal thyroid function and affecting overall health.
The second notable event was the introduction of potassium bromate, another iodine antagonist, into table salt. This addition further compounded the potential for iodine deficiency, which can have various health implications, including an increased risk of breast cancer.
Additionally, the widespread use of brominated fire retardants in household items such as rugs and furnishings has raised concerns. These chemicals can leach into the atmosphere, leading to inhalation and exposure that may contribute to cancer development.
Several studies have explored these associations:
1. Darbre, P. D. (2006). Environmental oestrogens, cosmetics and breast cancer. Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 20(1), 121-143.
2. Birnbaum, L. S., & Staskal, D. F. (2004). Brominated flame retardants: cause for concern? Environmental Health Perspectives, 112(1), 9-17.
3. Søiland, H., et al. (2007). Brominated flame retardants in indoor air: environmental and health implications. Environmental Science and Technology, 41(14), 4866-4870.
These studies highlight the potential links between environmental exposure to brominated compounds and increased cancer risks, underscoring the need to investigate why governments have allowed a continuous use of these agents causing serious ill health.
