Scientists from the UK have found that certain chemicals in underarm deodorants have been found in samples of breast tumours. Parabens are harmful chemicals that can be found in some cosmetic products such as lip gloss, eye makeup, hair products, moisturizers, and deodorants.
Parabens are capable of impersonating the female hormone estrogen, which plays a role in breast development, and the development of breast cancers. The harmful preservatives can be found in some foods as well.
The Parabens found in the tumours indicate that they were applied to the skin by something such as an underarm deodorant. Researchers expected the tumours to develop evenly throughout areas of the breast; however it was found that 60 percent of all breast tumours occurred in the upper outer quadrant of the breast – closest to the underarms.
The publisher of the research Phillip Harvey said “From this research, it is not possible to say whether or not parabens caused these tumours, but they may certainly be associated with the overall rise in breast cancer cases.”
Although most deodorants no longer contain Paraben chemicals, it is important to consider the preservatives and chemicals that we expose our bodies to on a regular basis. There are many organic and natural products on the market that are safer and better for your body.
