The truth is, "the denser, the better", yet we are led to believe that dense tissue is a disease, something to fear and loathe!

Virtually all women of childbearing-age have very dense breasts by design because what is called “dense tissue” is simply “everything but the fat” and we’ve known since at least 2015 that “dense breast tissue absorbs significantly more radiation during mammography compared to fatty tissue,” per the OBGYN’s 2015 Committee Opinion which won’t last much longer on the internet with the censorship the medical mafia feels is necessary but I have downloaded the pdf at that link which is easier to read than their awful mishmash of this opinion (by design?) so look for the pdf link on the right side.
Women who attend mammography screening are finally being informed that mammography might not be able to see well in their breasts, but nothing on that post-mammogram letter warns them that their dense tissue absorbs the radiation rather than letting it pass through as they claim it does with fat. Nothing on that letter tells them that ultrasound and thermography might be much safer and effective options for them.
In fact, it was shockingly suggested by the national spokesperson announcing the new federal law requiring all states to warn women on their post-visit letters that mammography’s detection ability may be limited for them, that they should expect more callbacks for more (mammography) imaging and that they might need to screen with mammography more often! I am not kidding.
Thermography is not impacted by breast density and excels in detecting signals of excess/unopposed estrogen dominance as well as signals of elevated thermal activity possibly reflecting blood supplies of growing tumors. It is the Cinderella of Screening, not welcome at the Royal Ball (biopsy decision table) because Cinderella (thermography) will not and cannot provide support for the practice of removing cold idle harmless masses not destined to progress, only hot ones, and there are very few hot ones, ladies and gentlemen, so follow the $$$ and realize why quality thermography has been repressed for decades.
