Which Toxic Chemical is Found in 99 Percent of Breast Cancer Patients?

Which Toxic Chemical is Found in 99 Percent of Breast Cancer Patients?

Posted By Dr. Mercola | March 16 2012

New research has detected the presence of parabens in 99% of breast cancer tissues sampled.  The study examined 40 women who were being treated for primary breast cancer.

Parabens, which are often used as a component of deodorant, shampoo, shaving gel, toothpaste, spray tans, make-up, pharmaceutical drugs, and food additives, have been shown to have estrogen-like properties.  Estrogen is one of the hormones involved in the development of breast cancer.

According to Green People:

"This piece of research showed that 99% of breast cancer samples contained at least one paraben and 60% had five parabens.  Revealingly, even women who used paraben-free natural deodorants showed the presence of some parabens. This is a reminder that the use of parabens reaches further than deodorants."
