...drug has been mired in controversy since the mid-1970s, when its use as a contraceptive was blocked because of a link to cancer in animals (a link that seemed weak or absent in subsequent human studies). Some women's groups are worried that it will be pushed on low-income women or used to enforce compliance to a birth control regimen...
Many Americans may be worrying about these similarities. President Bush even tried to play to fears of a Carter-Clinton link, warning in the debates of "malaise days" and saying in his acceptance speech at the Republican convention that "America does not need Carter...

Earlier studies had pointed to the same conclusion, but diehards still think the link may exist. They point out that all the women in the study ate plenty of fat; it was just that high-fat diets generated no more cancer than moderate-fat regimens. Perhaps women who eat negligible amounts of fat do have reduced breast-cancer levels. It's hard to test...

Women whose mothers had toxemia during pregnancy (a form of high blood pressure that can also lower estrogen levels) are 75% less likely to get breast cancer as adults.

They...
