A recent study, published in the Environmental Health Perspectives journal, has found that women are exposed to almost a thousand dangerous chemicals that are found in everyday foods, beauty products and other consumer products.
The chemicals were analysed by a team of researchers on databases run by the International Agency for Cancer Research (IACR), the National Toxicology Program and the US Environmental Protection Agency. After studying tens of thousands of chemicals, the researchers went on to list the most dangerous ones that had been linked to breast cancer.
