Chemicals In Make-up And Skincare Could Make Women Infertile by medfortblog: 4:25pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
Chemicals in make-up and skincare could make women infertile and even cause breast cancer. The chemicals include parabens and BPA, which are considered 'gender benders' due to them encouraging male breast growth. US scientists found those who have these chemicals in their urine produce abnormal amounts of the reproductive hormones oestrogen and progesterone. Excessive oestrogen has been linked to fibroids and polycystic ovary syndrome, while too little prevents eggs maturing and being released from the ovary. Too much progesterone is associated with both breast cancer and unusual vaginal bleeding. Researchers from George Mason University, Virginia, analysed the urine samples of 143 healthy women, all of which were pre-menopausal and not taking birth control. Lead author Dr Anna Pollack said: 'This study is the first to examine mixtures of chemicals that are widely used in personal care products in relation to hormones in healthy, reproductive-age women, using multiple measures of exposure across the menstrual cycle, which improved upon research that relied on one or two measures of chemicals.' Each woman provided between three and five urine samples over two menstrual cycles. These were assessed for the chemicals BPA, parabens, chlorophenols and benzophenones. https://medfort.com.ng/chemicals-in-make-up-and-skincare-could-make-women-infertile/

So true, these creams contains harsh chemicals which the skin absorbs and tend to accumulate over time. I've read somewhere that relaxers can cause hormonal imbalance and even fibroid. |
