Do anti-perspirants cause cancer?
According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), there's no conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspi-rants or deodorants with breast cancer. A well publicized study by the American Cancer Society found no relationship between breast cancer and antiperspirant use. | | Public Health Reports 120: 31-38, 2005]
A recent study shows that the use of hair dyes is associated with adult acute leukemia and that more frequent use and long-term use increased the risks for this type of cancer. Non-permanent hair dyes were not associated with leukemia, but long duration of permanent hair dye "may have an impact on the risk of leukemia." [American Journal Epidemiology 160: 19-25, 2004]
Another study could not completely dismiss data linking hair dye use with a modest increased risk for bladder cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Mascara and eyeliners may contain lead or coal tar dyes, which are also found in hair dyes. In addition, hair dyes contain aniline dyes, known to cause cancer in animals. Body powders made with talc can cause scarring of lung tissue when fine particles are inhaled. Some shampoos and hair conditioners, hand lotions, and hair colors contain a potentially dangerous antibacterial chemical called methylisothiazolinone (MIT).
The good news in this is that you can make the most improvements in your life through minimal changes. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Dry hair can be a reaction to chemicals found in harsh shampoos or hair dyes. This type of problem can be treated by the short-term use of an appropriate homeopathic remedy, and by making healthy lifestyle changes to rectify any damage. However, the condition of your hair can act as a
^ basic barometer for your health, and dry hair can point to a larger problem. If this is the case, dry hair is best dealt with by a homeopathic practitioner, who will prescribe treatments in an effort to balance the whole system. |
Mark Schapiro

SKIP THE NAIL POLISH. The European Union has been moving aggressively to remove phthalates from nail polish. Phthalates are often used in nail polish so that it doesn't chip as readily. In the United States, where regulators wait for proof before taking action, a few major cosmetic makers are electing to eliminate phthalates from nail polish since they have had to reformulate their products for the overseas market. |

Hair dye and cancer
The American Cancer Society says hair dyes don't cause cancer. But this so-called myth persists. After examining 79 different studies, a report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association says "We did not find strong evidence of a marked increase in the risk of cancer among personal hair dye users. | | For now, hair dyes are in a yellow zone, proceed with caution.

Exchange your perfumes and air fresheners for natural aromatic oils and fresh scents from your garden. Because most spermicidal products contain petrochemicals, avoid using lubricated condoms or vaginal gels. New homes or offices filled with new carpet, fiberboard, new paint, and glues can give off a wide variety of toxic fumes. Consider flushing the toxins out of the air with a portable air filter prior to moving in. Never use synthetic hormone replacement. |

They will be labeled as FD&C or D&C, followed by a color and a number. Example: FD&C Red No. 6 / D&C Green No. 6. Many synthetic colors can be carcinogenic. If a cosmetic contains them, don't use it.
Synthetic fragrances: The synthetic fragrances used in cosmetics can have hundreds of ingredients. There is no way to know what the chemicals are, since on the label it will simply read "fragrance. |

According to the BBC, researchers have found more evidence that hair dyes cause cancer. I have repeatedly said that if you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin. I have repeatedly tried to inform you of the fact that toxins cause cancer. More and more evidence is making headline news. This particular study shows that those who regularly dye their hair have a higher risk of developing lymphoma. |

Immune System Diseases the body's natural defense system, commonly referred to as the immune system, is one of the most important systems we have for protecting our health. Unfortunately, previously rare immune system diseases such as asthma, a relatively unheard of disease at the beginning of the twentieth century, now affect between 100 and 150 million people worldwide. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The ways hair dyes function and the ingredients that create the dyes do not differ between inexpensive products and those found in salon products. The major difference, and this is fairly major, is that a professional colorist can custom blend a specific color and control the amount of peroxide used.
If there are ingredient differences, no one in the industry, and none of the ingredient manufacturers or cosmetics chemists, seem to know about it. | | Demi, level 2, mid, Tone-on-Tone, or intermediate Hair Color
Forgive this long section header, but these are the various names companies attach to their not-quite-but-almost-permanent hair dyes. It could have been even longer because this type of hair dye can also be called "longer-lasting semi-permanent," "shorter-lasting permanent," or "in-between colors." That is, while they do permanently change the color of hair, they also have lower concentrations of peroxide and dye molecules, and so they can only effect subtle changes in hair color. | | Hair damaged by the sun, hair dyes, perms, or styling tools suffers the same injury regardless of the source.
Dry hair is a result of the hair losing its moisture content, often because damage has destroyed the hair's own ability to keep moisture in the hair. But it also can happen to healthy hair just because it's in a dry environment (in that case your hair could be dry without being damaged). | | Demi colors contain a small amount of hydrogen peroxide, while permanent hair dyes contain twice as much. On the other hand, demi dyes have the same degree of alkalinity as permanent dyes, either from ammonia or ammonia-type (alkaline) ingredients.
Demi dyes can cover up to 30% gray. That means if more than 30% of the hair on your head is gray, demi dyes will be ineffective. If you are less than 30% gray but you are graying in clumps or in concentrated areas, demi color also won't work. In those cases, you need to consider the next step—permanent hair color. | | Metallic hair dyes can dry out the hair, leaving it brittle and stiff. But aside from the aesthetic problems, there are more serious questions with regard to these products.
First, there is controversy over the lead acetate in progressive dyes. After the first edition of this book was published, Combe Incorporated, the makers of Grecian Formula, a lead acetate-based progressive dye, provided me with extensive information demonstrating the safety of lead acetate, and the FDA concurs (Sources: U.S. |

This expanded dietary questionnaire was mailed to nurses again in 1986 and 1990. |
Paula Begoun
See book keywords and concepts | | Without question, there are unmistakably positive reasons for coloring hair. hair dyes and color treatments can make the hair appear thicker, enliven otherwise drab hair, and create the perfect hair color. But by far the biggest reason most women (and men) dye their hair is because they don't want to show they are graying. In days gone by, the desire to be blonde drove the hair-color market; today, it is mostly the desire to be anything but gray. |

See article keywords and concepts |  For example: You have these TV shows like "The Swan," where they show people who are seemingly incredibly happy from having their appearance altered through cosmetic surgery, liposuction, anti-wrinkle creams, hair dyes and things like that. I think it's quite ridiculous to see this going on, but it's very typical of American society just to focus on the outward appearance and not really spend time on the internal transformation.
Why? It’s because internal transformation takes effort. It takes time, and it's something that requires you to take responsibility. |

You can look younger and more vibrant by changing who you are inside much better than by changing your appearance on the outside. Sooner or later, people will look past your hair color and your cosmetic surgery, and they will look at who you are inside and what capabilities you bring to the table. That's where you want to compete. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Early or prolonged use of permanent dark hair dyes have been linked to breast cancer.
Q Testing methods for breast cancer are increasing the likelihood of catching it early. Minimally invasive breast biopsies (MIBB) can be performed with virtually no recovery time. Ultrasounds and high-resolution ultrasounds offer a safer alternative to x-rays and can provide sharp digital pictures. Magnetic resonance imaging can create a three-dimensional image and can be useful in detecting ruptures in silicone breast implants. | | Known risk factors include heredity, radiation exposure, chronic viral infections, age, Down syndrome, having a sibling with leukemia, exposure to human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1 (HTVL-1), use of commercial hair dyes, alkylating agents, certain cancer therapies, and environmental exposure to benzene (found in unleaded gasoline) or radon. | | Never use hair dyes containing coal tar on the eyelashes or eyebrows; doing so can cause injury or blindness. Although coal tar dyes are legal, marketing them for the eyebrows and eyelashes is not.
Q Be careful when using drugs, whether prescription or over-the-counter. Some may cause eye problems. Drugs that can cause damage to the optic nerve, retina, or other vital parts of the eye:
• Adrenocorticotropic hormone, or ACTH (Acthar, Cortrosyn).
• Allopurinol (also sold under the brand name Zyloprim), which is used for gout.
• Anticoagulants such as heparin and warfarin (Coumadin). |
