About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Younger women who regularly eat red meat appear to face an increased risk for a common form of breast cancer, according to a large, well-known Harvard study of women's health.

The study of more than 90,000 women found that the more red meat the women consumed in their 20s, 30s and 40s, the greater their risk for developing breast cancer fueled by hormones in the next 12 years. Those who consumed the most red meat had nearly twice the risk of those who ate red meat infrequently.

 

Urge you elected representatives to make this information a part of the curricula of all public school health programs. 

By educating our children well, we have the potential to save many lives.

Help Save the Lives of Many Women

Dear Representative

Younger women who regularly eat red meat appear to face an increased risk for a common form of breast cancer, according to a large, well-known Harvard study of women's health.

The study of more than 90,000 women found that the more red meat the women consumed in their 20s, 30s and 40s, the greater their risk for developing breast cancer fueled by hormones in the next 12 years. Those who consumed the most red meat had nearly twice the risk of those who ate red meat infrequently.

I urge you to make this information part of the curricula of all public school health programs.

By educating our children well, we have the potential to save many lives.

Yours sincerely,

[Your name]
