Debunking Claims About Mammogram Dangers

🎯 Reality Check: Sketchy 🚩

📝 Why: There’s no evidence that mammograms cause breast cancer — in fact, they save lives by finding it early. The NHS, the UK’s National Screening Committee, and Cancer Research UK all recommend mammograms as the best tool for early breast cancer detection in women over 50. Large studies show regular mammograms reduce breast cancer deaths. According to Cancer Research UK: “The amount of radiation used during a mammogram is small and very unlikely to cause any harm.” Most doctors agree early detection is crucial for survival.
