i’m sure they tend to eat healthier. they also tend to have smaller breasts than other cultures.
An interesting topic you may address in your paper…… Asian women that reside in their country DO have a lower risk of breast cancer…. BUT…. the kicker is that if Asian women come to America and assimilate to our lifestyles, their risk of getting breast cancer meets or exceeds ours!!!
CANCER of the breast has nothing to do with size!!!
This would have to prove that it is environmental…. diet/lifestyle and not genetics… Do your research and get your resources, but very interesting. One of my friends in medical school did their thesis on this… very interesting!
I believe it’s diet related.
All the chemicals and additives in the foods.
Asians eat a lot healthier foods than us.
You had better check your information because it may be dated.
According to recent news reports Asian women no longer as a whole have a lower risk of breast cancer and in some Asian countries breast cancer is at epidemic proportions.
Asia’s cancer rate may jump by almost 60 percent by 2020.

“Asia accounted for about half the 7 million cancer deaths worldwide in 2002, with 23 percent in China alone, D. Maxwell Parkin, a visiting research fellow at the University of Oxford’s clinical trial service unit, told the forum.
“Historically in developing countries, people died before they could get cancer,” said You-Lin Qiao, a professor of cancer epidemiology at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing. “Now they are living longer, we’re seeing more cancer” and degenerative diseases of the brain, he said.
Also, be careful of statistics . .since Asian women statistically may not have been recorded adequately . . leading to the wrong conclusions.
