Oncologists warn that using heavily fragranced body washes consistently might raise cancer risk. "Ironically, products we believe are cleansing and revitalizing ourselves may be harming us in the process," says Dr. Sudarsan Kollimuttathuillam, MD, a medical oncologist at City of Hope Seacliff. "However, it's important to be mindful of the products we use, as they could, over time, increase cancer risk."


Dr. McCloskey points out that many of these body washes contain chemicals that can carry health risks, including cancer....
I tell ya,we gotta be careful of EVERYTHING because they dont give a damn if it hurts us!!

I don't consider AOL, Yahoo, and MSN to be reliable sources. Great for old-school email platforms; but not news.

Well, I always check multiple sources for news and I check from all sides of the political spectrum. Plus, there are websites that can tell you if a news source leans left or right, and if it spreads misinformation or shares fact-based information. Also, it's been known for years that using fragrance based soap can cause yeast infections in women. It's not a brand new discovery.
