Is Your Antiperspirant Increasing
We all know zinc as a go-to for when we get sick (along with vitamin C, of course). But do you know Your Odds for Breast Cancer?
the reason why? Zinc is a heavy-duty immune system stimulator. And when it comes to Breast
Cancer, it can be a super-protector as well. Breast Thermography for

What is Zinc?
Zinc is considered a trace mineral that is vital for immune system function, since it is

needed to “activate” T cells . Zinc is also responsible
for enzyme activitation in the body as well as cell
division, genetic communication and cell division. Zinc
is also connected to brain and heart health as well and
has the ability to balance blood sugar in diabetics. A
2003 study found that zinc supplementation improved
BMI and triglyceride levels and can lower overall body
weight without effecting blood sugar levels. According

their Healthy Breast journey as well.
The good news is that there are many easy ways to get
your zinc in through eating whole foods. Some zinc-rich
foods include eggs, beans, nuts, hormone-free, grass-fed beef and even organic dark chocolate. ? Of
course, this essential mineral is also available in supplement form.
Zinc and Breast Cancer
Zinc provides a treasure trove of both direct and indirect healing benefits for those on a journey with
Breast Cancer. Indirectly, zinc can be your advocate on the Health Breast path through the way it can
decrease oxidative stress in general. The Wayne State study found that increasing zinc levels can
lower a substance called IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor). High IGF-1 levels have long been
associated with cancer risk.
Zinc has been shown to have a direct effect on cancer cells. In the above study, zinc
supplementation turned off certain functions that can lead to
cancer growth. (Want to learn more about this and other nutrients to support a healing or

In addition, a recent (2017) study on esophageal cancer at University of
Texas at Arlington found that zinc “significantly inhibit the proliferation of …
cancer cells.”
A large-scale cohort study sponsored by the Pomeranian Medical University in Poland found that
those individuals with the highest concentration of zinc had the lowest risk of cancer, including Breast
Cancer. The researchers also found that the highest risk of Breast Cancer were those who were low
in zinc (and other nutrients) and who had the BRCA1 gene mutation.
Should You Supplement with Zinc?
The World Health Organization estimates that roughly one-
third of the world’s population is deficient in zinc. Some
individuals do have a genetic propensity towards zinc
malabsorption. Keep in mind, though, that even if you do,
the principles of epigenetics determines that most such
dispositions need strong triggers for them to manifest.
Stress, lack of exercise and a poor diet are the most
common ones, and this definitely pertains to zinc deficiency
and its many consequences.
In my opinion, zinc supplementation is a sound choice for creating vibrant breast health. It can be
part of an overall protocol for possibly healing Breast Cancer naturally. The 7 Essentials System®
Super Zinc supplement offers a chelated version of this important mineral by the leader in mineral
technology, Albion Advanced Nutrition. Zinc can be the most effective when combined with B vitamins
and other nutrients for super-synergistic results for your Healthy Breast path.

I am a bit confused by this because I recall Suzanne Somers book about alternative therapies
for cancer included information from a knowledgable provider that zinc supplementation is
to be avoided for breast cancer. Not sure how to make sense of this contradiction.

Hello Eileen! Thank you for your concern! It certainly can be confusing at times
hearing con icting research. The best course of action is to read all of the
supporting research and then choose what is right for you. Every body is different,
so there is no cookie cutter approach. We have found in our research that there is
more supporting the bene t of zinc than otherwise. Here are two additional blogs
for you to consider:https://foodforbreastcancer.com/news/long-term-zinc-
