Study links cosmetics chemicals to breast cancer
A recent study reveals the presence of hundreds of chemicals in everyday products that may increase the risk of breast cancer, especially when exposure is continuous over many years. Among the identified substances are "malathion," used to treat head lice; "bisphenol A," found in plastic containers; and "parabens," which mimic the hormone estrogen. The findings indicate that ongoing exposure to these compounds—still widely used—could contribute to a cumulative effect that may lead to breast cancer, particularly given the 10% rise in cases among women aged 20–49 over the past decade. Experts recommend preventive measures such as cautious use of medications, reducing chemical cosmetics, and adopting a healthy lifestyle to minimize exposure to these substances and lower health risks.
