The Dark Side of Breast Cancer Awareness

Entry slated - darkness to be revealed

notes on this entry:
SGK offers breast cancer as the number 1 overall killer for women....the true #1 is heart disease. Among cancers, breast cancer is ranked the #7 killer of women. 6 other cancers have been downplayed for marketing.
Susan G. Kommen has shown a steady trend of increasing merchandising while reducing spending on breast cancer research. Her foundation currently donates just 16% of all revenue to breast cancer research. (source: charitynavigator.org)
SGK's perfume contains many ingerdients known to be harmful to women's bodies, but she still sells it under the guise of benefiting women's health.
"pinkwashing"
[SGK is attempting to sue everyone with a pink, red, or white ribbon that didn't come through her company]

They don't want YOU to cure it....THEY want to cure it (eventually).
