A recent study has shown that one of the fastest growing cancer in women,
thyroid cancer. The increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and
mammograms. The apron the dentist puts on you for
your dental x-rays has a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped
around your neck. Many dentists don’t bother to use it. Also, there is
something called a “thyroid guard” for use during mammograms.
If you are having one of these procedures, ask for the guard. If you don’t, many practioners do not provide it.
We need to pass this on to our daughters, nieces, mothers and all our
female friends and husbands tell your wives !! I just did, now you send
it on to your list.
Someone was nice enough to forward this to me. I hope you pass this on
to your friends and family.
