Obesity, the BMI, and Breast Cancer

March is National Nutrition Month, so it would make sense for us to share a blog focused on “healthy weight.” However, I’m not going to discuss how a high BMI is harmful or share healthy recipes. I discuss how BMI is being used as an “easy” but murky indicator of health and how the relationship between overweight, obesity, and breast cancer is not as clear-cut as it is often made out to be. 
New Information: Covid Vaccines & Mammograms
 
There has been more recent research on whether the Covid vaccine interferes with mammography screening. As of March 2022, the recommendation is that there is no need to delay a mammogram due to a recent Covid vaccination. VBCF recommends checking with your imaging center before you arrive for your appointment to see if they have any specific guidelines for their center.
