Lipstick warning

These days, almost anything can be linked to cancer risk. Why? Because they still don't really understand what causes cancer, or anything else much about it.

Also, the internet is a massive deposit of false and/or scary information. So, as I usually do, let me start this post with a disclaimer that I don't endorse the information in here, because I've seen no evidence to support it, though if the reported facts are true, it would tend to support it's final claim. This is a chain letter passed on to me by one of my patients about lipsticks that contain lead, which may put wearers at risk for cancer. Take it as you will. The message of the letter is after the jump. Sorry about the formatting--it came in weird, and it's hard to correct it in the blog creator.

LIPSTICK INFORMATION Something to consider 
Next time you go shopping for Lipstick........ 

This comes from someone who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital , in Toronto

If there is a female you care anything about, share this with her. I did!!!!!

I am also sharing this with the males on my e-mail list, Because they need to tell the females THEY care about as well! 

 

Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth' decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead.. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.The lipstick brands that contain lead are:

CHRISTIAN DIOR

LANCÔME

 CLINIQUE

  Y.S.L 
  ESTEE LAUDER
 SHISEIDO

  RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)

  CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)

  MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.

 

The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer. After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick contained the most amount of lead. Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.

 
Here is the test you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand.

Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.

  3. If the lipstick colour changes to black, then you know the lipstick contains lead.

 
Please send this information to all your girlfriends, wives and female family members.
