Breast cancer - how to reduce your risk naturally

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, and 1 woman in 8 will be diagnosed in her lifetime. Breast cancer incidence rates in UK women have risen by 25% since 1990 – such a fast increase is not driven by genetics, but by environmental factors.
