Study Shows Nation’s Most Widely Used Preservative Linked to Breast Cancer
Posted on June 25, 2008 by DFHS Article Team
Chemicals called Parabens are Used In Thousands of Products. Now they have Been Found In Breast Tissue
Parabens, a group of chemicals found in thousands of cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical products are the most widely used preservatives in the United States. But a new study released by the Journal of Applied Toxicology found parabens have been linked to cancer.
Parabens can be found in:
- shampoos
- commercial moisturizers
- shaving gels
- cleansing gels
- personal lubricants
- topical pharmaceuticals
- and toothpaste.
They are also used as food additives in some products. Basically, a huge percentage of the products you buy for everyday use contain some form of paraben, so it can be difficult to find products that do not use them.
Now before I share the next link, I want to make it 100% clear that I am NOT in any way associated with this company. That said THIS COMPANY has a range of paraben free products
