99% of Breast Cancer Tissue Contain This Everyday Cosmetics Chemical

99% of Breast Cancer Tissue Contain This Everyday Chemical (Parabens)

by Dr. Mercola

New research examining parabens found in cancerous human breast tissue points the finger at antiperspirants and other cosmetics for increasing your risk of breast canceri.

The research, which is also reviewed in an editorial published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, looked at where breast tumors were appearing, and determined that higher concentrations of parabens were found in the upper quadrants of the breast and axillary area, where antiperspirants are usually appliedii.

Parabens are chemicals that serve as preservatives in antiperspirants and many cosmetics, as well as sun lotions. Previous studies have shown that all parabens have estrogenic activity in human breast cancer cells.

My comment, as posted at Mercola.com:

It isn't without reason that the cosmetics industry is among the major players in the Breast Cancer Awareness Movement (BCAM). The movement was started in the first place by Imperial Chemicals and continues to be controlled by their successor Astra-Zeneca and has directed research away from toxins such as those produced by Imperial Chemicals (the third largest producer of environmental carcinogens when they started BCAM).

BTW, recent year studies have indicated that ginger may provide protection against some of the damage caused by parabens.
