In an age when potential health risks are "on blast" 24 hours a day in virtually every media outlet, it is hard to imagine that any health risk could remain "hidden."

But surprisingly, there are still many health risks that women need to know about that are not getting a whole lot of attention.

There was a time when breast cancer and heart attacks in women were kept on the back burner, and women were given very little information about risks and prevention strategies.

Obviously that is far from the case today, which is fantastic. However so much media attention has been given to these two "giants" that many other health risks for women are slipping under the radar.

That's why we've decided to give a few of them the attention they deserve.
