Warning: These five cancer-causing ingredients are lurking in your make-up

What are your first thoughts when you put your make-up on in the mornings? They're probably not about whether your eyeliner or mascara will leave you with cancer!

And they shouldn't be!

You shouldn't have to worry about your health when you buy supposedly safe products off the store shelf…

Sadly, some cosmetics companies STILL put harmful chemicals in their products. And what's worse, is they really are ashamed about it when caught out. They try to hide the fact they're still doing it!

In fact, just 11 months ago, cosmetics giant Revlon was involved in a tough legal battle in this very situation. The public and Breast Cancer groups found out their products contained cancer-causing ingredients, which they were trying to hide.

Breast Cancer survivours and the Breast Cancer Fund were outraged! Especially since Revlon's a vocal supporter of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. They wanted to know how they could still used harmful, cancer-causing chemicals in their products while being activists for cancer prevention!

So, they petitioned against Revlon with more than 45,000 signatures. They demanded the removal of chemicals from products.

But Revlon didn't simply apologies and promise to do the right thing. Instead, the group retaliated and sued petitioners to silence them, says Janet Nudelman, director of program and policy at the Breast Cancer Fund.

Unfortunately, there's little information available as to what happened next. But another ugly article about Revlon and chemical popped up in a separate incident in June of this year. So you can assume there's been no major changes…

And while it's not up to us to slander companies for what they do, it's important you are aware of what's in your favourite products. And with this information you can decide whether to throw out certain brands if they contain one of these five cancer-causing ingredients…

 
“By the end of summer, his doctor could find no trace of cancer”
 
David J. had an 8cm tumour wrapped around his backbone – entering his spinal column – when he entered the hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia. This former athlete was completely paralysed. Surgery was scheduled, but the cancer was officially declared “incurable”.
 
Just four days later, David walked out of the hospital, using only a cane. A year later, he was swimming and riding his mountain bike again. By the end of the summer, his doctor could find no trace of cancer in his body.
 
What on earth helped David finally beat it? Some toxic new chemotherapy? No.
 
Believe it or not, he owes a good part of his recovery to a revolutionary therapy you’ll read about starting on page 72 in How to Fight Cancer & Win...
 
Full details here.
   

Here are five common cancer-causing make-up ingredients that indicate it’s time to choose another product

 
#1. Phthalates: This chemical comes from oil and manufacturers use it to make plastic. Cosmetic manufacturers use it in their products as a solvent – something with which you can mix other ingredients to ensure they mix together.
 
The Environmental Protection Agency has found it causes cancer in humans as well as evidence it causes multiple organ failure in rats.
 
#2. Parabens: This preservative allows your product to last longer because it fights off bacteria that would normally infect and destroy your product within two weeks.
 
There’s evidence it causes breast cancer.
   
The real key to healing cancer is to wipe out the stealth disease lurking behind it...
 
I admit I was downright shocked when I found out that cancer isn't actually what kills most cancer patients! And I've been a doctor for well over 20 years - so not much surprises me anymore.
 
Even more astounding - this monumental discovery goes back to the 1970s when former US Air Force Dr Joseph Gold uncovered the REAL killer, a condition that no one in the medical field was even talking about!
 
That's right - the real culprit behind 3 out of every 4 cancer deaths isn't cancer at all. No! It's a syndrome you've probably never even heard of - called cachexia (pronounced "ka-kek-see-ah").
 
And if you or someone you love is battling cancer... You definitely can't afford to ignore what could very well be the only natural compound that stops this stealth killer in its tracks.
   
#3. Talc: You’ll find talc in products to absorb excess moisture like in baby powder and some deodorants. A 2003 study found a link between talc and ovarian cancer where a people using talc powder frequently had a 33% higher risk of ovarian cancer.
 
#4. Fragrances: The chemicals manufacturers use to make your cosmetics smell pleasant could cause cancer. A study performed in the 80s says fragrances come from mixtures of petroleum, which hasn’t changed much in the last 30 years!
 
These enter the body through your skin and disrupt the normal functioning of your cells, which could lead to cancer.
 
#5. Formaldehyde: The most common use of this chemical is in laboratories to preserve tissues. If you come into contact with it, the US National Toxicology Program says it’s likely to cause cancer with prolonged use and exposure.
 
While there are huge, ongoing debates about the safety of cosmetics despite the chemicals they contains, it’s better you know there might be possible health implications when using certain products. This allows you to make your own decisions to protect your health.
