Top Stories from Health & Wellness on AlterNet

>From the editors:
October is breast cancer month, which means by now you've most likely seen a
marketing blitz of all things pink and a message telling you to shop for a
cure. But is finding a cure for breast cancer the best way to approach
research? What about finding its cause? A large body of data shows a
correlation between radiation and breast cancer risk, with an especially
alarming trend seen among women who live near nuclear power plants. Lucinda
Marshall has the story.
And don't forget to check out AlterNet's voter guide to health care. Just eight
days left to learn the differences between the candidates. Make it count!
Thanks for reading,
Heather Gehlert
