Cancer linked to use of sunscreen–I knew this was coming

I knew this was coming. Everyone on the news, doctors, dermatologists tell us that we have to wear sunscreen every day to protect ourselves from harmful rays from the sun that can cause skin cancer.

I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been made a law that you have to wear sunscreen.

Well, the news on the street now is that the chemicals found in sunscreens and lotions are linked to causing cancer. So, if you regularly slather yourself or your kids in sunscreen–you may want to read about this.

The carcinogen oxybenzone, along with other toxic chemicals that are found in cosmetic products and lotions are included in the products to help the ingredients penetrate the skin.

These carcinogens are linked to migrains, severe PMS and breast and uterine cancer.

On top of the issue with putting these chemicals on your skin, there is another very large issue. When you shower and wash these products off your skin, the chemicals pollute the water. Some of these chemicals remain in our water, even after filtration. .

So, even if you don’t use sunscreen, you could be getting these chemicals when you drink water.

And to top it all off the FDA does not test over 90% of cosmetic products and manufacturers are not required to register product ingredients. This means that if additional research concludes that sunscreen does in fact cause cancer, these companies won’t have to do recalls or defend lawsuits since know one really knows the product ingredients.

My, my, we have opened a can of worms. I’m drinking a glass of water from my refrigerator. Am I poisoning myself now?
