Causes of Fibroids, Cysts, Tumors, and Breast Cancer: Estrogen and Progesterone in Contraceptives, Chemicals, and Food

"Fibroid growth is strongly dependent on estrogen and progesterone. Both estrogen and progesterone are regarded as growth-promoting."

Are the elites of pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries hiding a dirty little secret?

"The combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP), often referred to as the birth-control pill or colloquially as "the Pill", is a birth control method that includes a combination of an estrogen (estradiol) and a progestogen (progestin). When taken by mouth every day, these pills inhibit female fertility"

"It is believed that estrogen promotes growth by up-regulating IGF-1, EGFR, TGF-beta1, TGF-beta3 and PDGF, and promotes aberrant survival of leiomyoma cells by down-regulating p53, increasing expression of the anti-apoptotic factor PCP4 and antagonizing PPAR-gamma signalling. Progesterone is thought to promote the growth of leiomyoma through up-regulating EGF, TGF-beta1 and TGF-beta3, and promotes survival through up-regulating Bcl-2 expression and down-regulating TNF-alpha"

Is it in fact the birth control pills and other dietary factors (hormones, pesticides, etc) in our food that are promoting the growth of uterine fibroids, tumours, and breast cancer in our women? Could this simply be a matter of some simple logic?
