the chemical component: cosmetics, cleaners, and cancer

Write pink


I don't know why my sister Tiffany got breast cancer at the age of 36.  I don't know why anyone does or what the likelihood is that I could get it, too.

It's scary feeling at-risk.

Eating well and exercising are important for breast health and good health overall, but isn't there anything else we can do for cancer prevention?  When the research and advice can be confusing [soy! no soy!], what do we know?

I know that we interact with hundreds of chemicals everyday, and the FDA does not require health studies or safety testing for ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products.

No one is regulating the chemicals we lather onto our bodies or the manner in which they interact.  Is it possible that our cosmetics could be causing some cancers and other health problems?
