Mammograms Again Found to Have No Impact on Mortality

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/07/28/mammogram-myths.aspx?e_cid=20150728Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150728Z1&et_cid=DM80742&et_rid=1053352071

A main objection to mammography is the fact that it uses ionizing radiation to take images of your breasts, and it’s a well-established fact that ionizing radiation can cause cancer.

So the idea that the “best” way for you to avoid dying from cancer is to expose yourself to cancer-promoting radiation at regular intervals for decades on end (in order to catch the cancer early) really falls short on logic — especially since there are non-ionizing radiation imaging techniques available.
