MANY COSMETIC PRODUCTS
CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today (after lung cancer) and is the most common cancer among women, excluding nonmelanoma skin cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.3 million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer annually worldwide. About 465,000 will die from the disease.

IS MORE RESEARCH REALLY SO NECESSARY?
So many forms of cancer are related to something known as lifestyle. (Price, supra) Ah, maybe the cause is already known? As we discovered here, bra use is a significant cause of breast cancer. So women could burn their bras, and avoid cancer? Its that simple?
BUT THE CANCER BUSINESS IS A PROFITABLE BUSINESS
But where would the profits go. Those sweatshop owners can produce a bra for 50 cents, or maybe sew on a cute pink ribbon for another 10 cents. Sell the same thing for $20 later, and there’s plenty of profit. Plus, of course, all those cancer “therapies”.
But there’s more to this game than bras. The girls of the Happy Hoofers are also painted up with cosmetics.
CARCINOGENIC INGREDIENTS
“There is no question that people are being damaged by their cosmetics. So many things are put into cosmetics now that are carcinogenic, and it is allowed because cosmetics are not considered to be as serious as drugs or food. One of the most extreme cases I have seen was a woman whose bone marrow was affected by chemicals used in hair dye. The situation as it is is plainly dangerous – unacceptably so.” (Dr. Jean Munro, medical director of the Breakspear Hospital in Hertfordshire cited in Tim Utton, Daily Mail, April 8, 2002,
There’s plenty of information out there. “there is considerable evidence that breast cancer risk is related to modifiable lifestyle factors”. (Price, supra) Dr. Munro speaks as an expert. And we’ve cited plenty of other experts.
And “this generation”? They’ve gotten their health information. But like to spend their time “sitting in the markets” — you know, those stores where they can buy their cosmetics, bras, cigarettes, sun tanning lotions, etc.
The tobacco business, the bra business, and, of course, cosmetics, have a lot in common. Check the links, and you’ll see that while, out there in the wild world of journalism and medicine, there’s much talk of “medical research” to “find the cause of cancer”, these matters are simpler than the cancer industry would like for you to believe.
