Can you clarify exactly what it is that you find wrong with this article?
I used to work in an oncology unit in a London hospital a couple of years ago and I did notice first hand that the African-Carribean women treated there tended to be younger than their white counterparts. These women were in their 30s. The researchers did not obtain the data from thin air.
I personally know of two women both under the age of 45 who are currently being treated for breast cancer.
Perhaps the title of the article is slightly misleading. The study is implying that black women are not more likely to develop the disease compared to white women but are rather more likely to develop it at a younger age.
