MaltaToday: you receive your income from pharma companies

Can I urge all women to go to the NaturalNews website, for an informed opinion on the dangers of mammography? Here is an extract:
‘Dear NaturalNews readers, with Breast Cancer Awareness month fully upon us once again, retail stores have been invaded with everything pink, including “pink ribbon” candies and personal care products made with blatantly cancer-causing ingredients.
And did you know where all that pink ribbon money really goes? To recruit more breast cancer patients, of course! Nearly 100% of the funds are used to promote “free mammograms” which is just a clever way to CAUSE breast cancer (mammography emits high levels of radiation) and scare women into dangerous, even deadly treatments most of them didn’t even need in the first place!’
Mike Adams of NaturalNews says that for every woman benefiting from mammography, 10 will suffer harm from it.
Women under 35 should never submit to mammography, and the only group to possibly benefit are those women over 55.
Do the people operating the mammograph centres this month tell you this? This is another industry, with no real interest in women’s wellbeing. The bottom-line is profit for them. There are strong links with the organisation and the pharmaceutical industry, whose chemo drugs have never cured breast cancer.
For the information of all cancer sufferers, the cure rate for all cancers by use of chemo drugs is less than 3%.
If MaltaToday would like to do an article on it, I will provide the researched evidence. My bet is this part of my letter will be edited, since you receive your income from the Pharma Companies. Any bets?
