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, Dr. Nahid Neman
If there is a female you care anything about, share
this with her. (Or any fellows who wear lipstick...)
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.
Lipstick brands which contain lead are:
CHRISTIAN DIOR
LANCOME
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 on longer.
If your lipstick stays on longer, it could be because of the high content of lead. Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer.
Here is a test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. 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.
