The government has always seemed to be a big fan of women having their breasts between cold plates once every year. While the government is not always smart, anything that exposes your body to less radiation is good!
Women in their 40s should stop routinely having annual mammograms and older women should cut back to one scheduled exam every other year, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has concluded, challenging the use of one of the most common medical tests.
But the American Cancer Society, the American College of Radiology and other experts condemned the change, saying the benefits of routine mammography have been clearly demonstrated and play a key role in reducing the number of mastectomies and the death toll from one of the most common cancers.
Yea, so women do not get so many mammograms!
