A new study led by Harvard University researchers offers the strongest evidence yet that the risk of breast cancer does not increase with exposure to the banned chemicals DDT and PCBs.
The study, published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, found that 230 women with breast cancer had lower levels of these toxic chemicals in their blood than a comparable group of women without cancer.
The findings come as worldwide attention is being increasingly focused on the theory that industrial chemicals are triggering higher cancer and infertility rates by disrupting human hormones.
