Why are breast cancer rates falling?

The most plausible explanation is that women by the millions abandoned or sharply cut back their use of hormone therapy. For many years hormones — which have been widely used to treat the symptoms of menopause — had also been hyped by the pharmaceutical industry as an elixir to ward off the ravages of aging. Overly enthusiastic doctors also championed hormone therapy as a way to prevent or mitigate heart disease, Alzheimer’s, severe depression and urinary incontinence — none of which turned out to be true. But in mid-2002, a study of the effects of hormones on thousands of women had to be halted after it became clear that prolonged use of a popular hormone combination caused an increase in breast cancer, heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/16/opinion/16sat1.html?th & emc=th"(Whatever situation we examine), the conclusion is in every case the same: that vaccination is a gigantic delusion; that it has never saved a single life; but that it has been the cause of so much disease, so many deaths, such a vast amount of utterly needless and altogether undeserved suffering, that it will be classed by the coming generation among the greatest errors of an ignorant and prejudiced age, and its penal enforcement the foulest blot on the generally beneficent course of legislation during our century."-----Alfred Russel Wallace [book 1898] Vaccination A
