I decided to do my article on decreasing risk of exposure. I found an article that was educational to me. The article was about how exposure to sunlight may decrease the risk of advanced breast cancer. I found it educational to know that vitamin D may be important in slowing the growth of breast cancer cells in women. I found it very interesting to know that it also depends on your skin pigmentation level as to how effective the exposure would be. However, there is a catch so women shouldnt try to reduce their chances of developing breast cancer by over exposing their body to sunlight because you may develop another type of cancer called sun-induced skin cancer. Therefore, I thought it would be beneficial to list other ways of increasing your vitamin D intake, multivitamins, fatty fish and fortified food; and certain cereals and fruit juices.

Good point about increasing Vitamin D to decrease risk of breast cancer. However, I am not sure how the topic relates to chapters from the book.
