It’s time to get real about what bras really do for our breasts rather than support them.

Although we are all in the midst of a cancer pandemic, there is at present no reason to suggest that any of us (including you, the reader) has to succumb to this disease.

Roughly six years ago I started writing a book on the most promising treatments for cancer. The project was born out of a deep personal desire to give people who had been diagnosed with cancer (or had a relative or friend in such situation or who were simply afraid of getting the disease) palpable hope that was based on hard, sink-your-teeth-into science.
