Breast Cancer & Ovarian Cancer
2020 Study - Xenoestrogens Linked to Breast Cancer
A 2020 study links several xenoestrogens, including bisphenol A (BPA), to breast cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine fibroids and other various reproductive disorders. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts a 63.4% increase by 2040 in breast cancer rates. As of 2020, the incident rate of breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society, is 1 in 8. The long term effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is multigenerational and the effects of these hormone disruptors is currently underappreciated.
Cardamom Reduces Breast Cancer Tumors
A 2019 study reports that a naturally occuring antioxidant (cardamonin) found in the spice cardamom supresses and kills (apoptosis) breast cancer cells. Cardamom also contains DCM (diindolylmethane) and IC3 (indole-3-carbinol), compounds known to eradicate breast cancer cells and stimulate the immune system.
Artificial Colors Mimic Estrogen & Negatively Impact Hormones
A peer reviewed study notes that artificial colors yellow & tartrazine found in food and cosmetic colorings are xenoestrogens which mimic estrogen and are linked to breast cancer and liver disease.
Estrogenic Activity in Underarm Deodorant
A 2014 study discovered fragrances in deodorant have the same estrogenic activity as parabens, both of which are linked to breast cancer.
Herbicide Glyphosate Linked to Breast Cancer
A 2013 study discovers the herbicide glyphosate has environmentally relevant estrogenic activity that links this xenoestrogen to breast cancer.
The Association Between Talc Use and Ovarian Cancer: A Retrospective Case-Control Study in Two US States
A 2016 study explores how an estrogenic response to talc may be why ovarian cancer is associated with the use of talc in the genital region.
Parabens Linked to Breast Cancer
A 2016 study syas xenoestrogens are synthetic compounds that mimic endogenous estrogens by binding to and activating estrogen receptors. Exposure to estrogens and to some xenoestrogens has been associated with cell proliferation and an increased risk of breast cancer. Despite evidence of estrogenicity, parabens are among the most widely used xenoestrogens in cosmetics and personal-care products and are generally considered safe.
