“I remember when the NFB was something to be proud of, the producer of great documentary films. I guess that was before it turned into a cancer scare conspiracy theory promoter of films like Pink Ribbons Inc.
One thing everyone can do to prevent the dumbing down of public discourse on health risks generally or breast cancer specifically:
Avoid Pink Ribbons Inc. (like a cancer) when it comes to a theater near you.
Read Hyping Health Risks by G. C. Kabat instead

“Finally a film that exposes some of the truth about the cancer industry. I find the pink ribbon campaigns to be embarrassing. The cosmetic industry attempts to make you pretty while you suffer with the effects of toxic treatment, (mouth sores, hair loss and constant nausea ) all the while selling products that contain carcinogens, are appalling. Check out what David Suzuki (in Canada) and the Environmental Working Group : Skin Deep Campaign (in the US) are saying about "beauty" products. These products are the tip of the iceberg. There are so many other products that contain carcinogens and so little beings done about it. PREVENTION is a way to protect yourself and those you love. There are the sites mentioned above with critical information all women must learn about. You are the main purchasers in the market place. As Lea Pool says,"We must be more critical. We must be much stronger. We can change must faster if we just have more control of what we want". Get in control, knowledge is strength.”
“I have known about this controversy since just after my diagnosis (lobular, stage 3) 3 years ago. An invaluable resource is the book "No Family History: The environmental link to breast cancer". Everyone needs to educate themselves so we force big Pharmacy to release us from the conventional treatment of 'Slash, Poison, Burn' to something that actually enables us to recover and live rich, full and long lives after diagnosis! Think before you Pink!”
