According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer among women, after skin cancer. Medical processionals recommend that women between the age of 50-74 get a mammogram every two years.

Breast Cancer's first sign is usually a breast lump or an abnormal mammogram. While it's one of the leading types of cancer in women, male breast cancer is not uncommon and similarly, must be taken seriously.

Nestle has also launched its own breast cancer awareness campaign that shows just how much attention women's breasts get. See the video that has been viewed over two million times on the Nestlé Fitness YouTube page, also embedded below.
