Hair Dye and Breast Cancer Risk

The official word about hair dye is that there is no "evidence" that the risk of breast cancer is increased by the regular use of hair coloring.  In fact, there are a number of studies that show an increased risk of breast cancer and hair coloring, both for women who are occupationally exposed to these chemicals as well as for women who use them.  While there is disagreement as to a possible direct correlation, there is no disagreement in the fact that these hair dyes contain chemicals that have been proven to contain carcinogens.

At the very least, you should check out the following website to see whether your hair coloring contains carcinogenic ingredients.  http://www.preventcancer.com/consumers/cosmetics/Tables_cospcp.htm

You can also check whether any other of your personal care products contain hazardous ingredients by typing the ingredients into this website:  http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/

I, personally use, "Naturtint," hair coloring (97% chemical free) and organic-only skin care and cosmetic products.  I have links to these companies on my Facebook page.  I particularly like the "100percentpure" products.

Why take an unnecessary risk by using carcinogenic products when there are so many other choices, today?
