Fibroid Tumors

Why are so many African American Women Suffering with Fibroid Tumors?

by Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu
It is estimated that 40 percent of African American women, before menopause, suffer with fibroid tumors. This in contrast to less than 20 percent for White women. Why the 100 percent differential? Is it genetics? Do African women on the continent also suffer disproportionately? The answer is no. I believe that the problem and the solution lie in the African American lifestyle.
