That’s a wrap on B4BC’s 6th Annual Check One, Two Campus Tour! The B4BC educational outreach posted up on ten different campuses, providing preventative health information to students while partnering with campus departments & clubs to give out wellness materials that highlight the benefits of early detection and a healthy, active lifestyle.
The Environmental Working Group releases a well-known list every year of the Dirty Dozen fruits and vegetables to avoid due to GMOs and pesticides, but now they’ve added a list of Dirty Dozen chemicals for cancer prevention! On that list are PFCs, used as stain-repellent coatings in furniture, and PBDEs, a type of fire retardant used to treat upholstered furniture, mattresses and pillows until it was pulled from the market due to high toxicity levels.
B4BC’s Check One, Two Campus tour has taken off and we are stoked to educate young people all over the nation. In case we don’t get a chance to visit your campus this year, take your health into your own hands—download the free B4BC app for iPhone and Android to set your monthly breast self-exam reminder and learn how to check one, two!
