cutbacks and envi ronmental deregulation what i found particularly interest ing about the video is the connection that it makes between the companies that make the drugs to treat breast cancer and their subsidiaries that produce the chemicals that are con tributing to the development of breast cancer for example the ukbased zeneca corporation which sponsors breast cancer awareness month sells 470 million worth of tamoxifen citrate annually it also has a 300millionayear business marketing the carcinogenic herbicide acetochlor perhaps the most telling statement in the video comes from a

implication that is has beyond breast cancer everybody should see this film the same things that are affecting women are affecting men and chil dren and all life on the planet said goldinrosenberg for
