Are sanitary pads a cause or prevention to cervical cancer?

There's this message that was broadcasted to me on BBM and i will like to post it here for those of my sisters who have not seen it. It says:In the interest of every woman's health and safety...56 girls died because of using whisper, stayfree, always ultra, etc single pads for a whole day without changing (the 'diaper'..lol).Now because of the chemical used in ultra napkins which converts liquid into gel proved to cause cancer in the bladder or uterus, it is advisable to use cotton sanitary pads(picture after the jump); AND if using ultra pads, please change your pad within five (5) hours at least in a day because if the duration its worn increases, the blood turns green and fungus gets into the uterus via the vagina. ....by Dr. Shazia.

"Natural Cotton Feminine Hygiene Pads"

Today we're seeing a whole new generation of feminine hygiene pads made from petrochemicals.Most conventional sanitary pads are made from over 90 percent plastic, derived from crude oil, including superabsorbent polyacrylates, polypropylene and polyethylene.The use of synthetic fibers, plastic-backed panty liners, and contact with toxic chemicals can lead to burning and soreness of delicate tissue in certain individuals, especially if you are susceptible to allergies.Plus, these materials restrict the free flow of air and can trap heat and dampness, potentially promoting the growth of yeast and bacteria in your vaginal area.Premium Personal Care line of natural cotton panty liners and sanitary pads are all…·         Made with natural cotton – A more naturally breathable fiber that may be healthier for your body and the earth.·         Chlorine- and toxin-free – Keep potentially dangerous substances away from your most intimate body parts.·         Synthetic-free – For a softer and plastic-less feel.·         Wood Fluff Pulp-free – Breathable, absorbent and saves trees, too.·         Hypoallergenic and soothing, especially for those with sensitive skin. Perfume and scent-free.·         User-Friendly – Easy and comfortable to use.And there's one more thing I think you'll appreciate about all of our pads…Each pad has its own "security veil" – a soft, breathable cotton cover that provides extra insurance against any part of the cotton separating from the pad. Absorbent fibers remain INSIDE the pad, right where you want them!

Dr. Elizabeth Ayoub, biomolecular and medical is issued an alert for lipsticks containing lead, which is a carcinogen.

Recently the brand 'Red Earth' decreased prices of R $ 67.00 to R $ 9.90! Why? Because it contained lead.

The higher the lead content, the greater the risk of causing cancer. After doing a test on lipsticks, lip was observed in the highest level of lead AVON. Care for those lipsticks which are supposed to have greater fixation. If your lipstick is fixed but is due to high levels of lead.

Take this test:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand;
2. With a gold ring on this lipstick pass it;
3. If the lipstick color changes to black, then you know that contains lead.
Please send this information to all your friends & SHARE with all mothers, sisters, female friends, wives & girlfriends.

Take extra pre-caution when choosing your makeup product. Live healthy in order to live happy.

Study Ties Chemicals in Beauty Products to Women's Diabetes Risk

FRIDAY, July 13 (HealthDay News) -- Chemicals in beauty and personal care products may boost women's risk of diabetes, a new study suggests, although the authors cautioned that the finding is far from conclusive.

Researchers found that elevated concentrations of chemicals called phthalates in women's bodies are associated with an increased chance of developing diabetes. Phthalates are hormone-disrupting chemicals commonly used in products such as soaps, nail polishes, hair sprays, perfumes and moisturizers.

The chemicals are also used in a number of other consumer products, such as electronics, toys and adhesives.

In this study, researchers analyzed concentrations of phthalates in the urine of 2,350 women from across the United States. They found that women with the highest levels of mono-benzyl phthalate and mono-isobutyl phthalate were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as those with the lowest levels of the two chemicals.

Women with higher-than-average levels of mono-(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate had about a 60 percent increased risk of diabetes, and those with moderately high levels of the chemicals mono-n-butyl phthalate and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate had about a 70 percent increased risk of diabetes.

The study, published online July 13 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, was led by Tamarra James-Todd, a researcher in the division of women's health at Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston.

"This is an important first step in exploring the connection between phthalates and diabetes," James-Todd said in a hospital news release. "We know that in addition to being present in personal care products, phthalates also exist in certain types of medical devices and medication that is used to treat diabetes and this could also explain the higher level of phthalates in diabetic women. So overall, more research is needed."

The researchers also cautioned that the women in the study "self-reported" their diabetes, a less than ideal method of conducting research. And while the study found a potential connection between phthalates and diabetes in women, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
