There is no exact definition for the cause of breast cancer. There are many known causes and possible causes which you can avoid to lessen the risks. The diet, environment, drugs, your activities and practices, heredity, your age, sex, immune system conditions, etc. - have factors in them which can predispose anyone to have this cancer. Check out this site for more specific explanation of causes:http://www.emedicinehealth.com/breast_cancer/page2_em.htm
There are many things mentioned you should avoid, yet I would say in comparison it is the same situation as in saying "Smoking causes lung cancer", yet not all smokers get lung cancer and not all non-smokers was ever safe from getting lung cancer.
My best advice is for you to live healthy, eat healthy, do things healthy, think healthy and be healthy in any way.Know very well breast self examination . It is recommended practice for every female that will help to an early detection just in case.

Cells growing out of control and killing off the normal cells.
Prevention is a bit of a grey area as there are various types of cancer, some of which are hereditary. A healthy diet, drinking a glass of red wine a day (contains antioxidants which MIGHT help) , clean living (whatever that is lol) its really a case of one persons guess is as good as another's.
I think if its gonna happen theres not much you can do to stop it. Make sure you examine yourself every month so if there is a lump you will get it early and get early treatment, which is very helpful!

Boob tablets? Do you mean estrogen supplementations? and that i infrequently doubt any scientific expert would recommend a woman who already has fairy great boobs to take any style of "boob tablets". besides 32C's are like ideal. Why would you p.c. them any greater?

Watch your diet (not eating junk food or foods high in fat) and exercise.
One aspexct is a history of breast cancer and that is harder to overcome
