Estrogen in moisturizers may worsen breast cancer
Tags: SCIENCE/HEALTH
Breast cancer patients who apply moisturizers may be dosing themselves with estrogen without even knowing it, investigators reported at a breast cancer symposium in San Antonio.
Dr. Adrienne Olson, with Breastlink in Hawthorne, California, and colleagues analyzed 16 widely available moisturizers for estrogen-like compounds.
None of the creams analyzed noted any estrogen content in their list of ingredients. Even so, six samples contained estriol or estrone.
Webmaster's Commentary:
To the women who read this site (and the men and family who love-them), please make sure, to the best level you can, that any personal care product you are using does not contain estriol or estrone.
