YES, there are actually studies questioning the PAH's tainting of petrolatum, linked to cancer.(Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons)and those studies are also"the best science available". By the way, the "best science available cannot cure or tell us exactly what causes cancer, so I'd go easy on how much you throw that term in peoples faces who are understandably concerned. Petroleum by-products coat the skin like plastic, clogging the pores. Interfering with skin's ability to eliminate toxins, promoting acne and other disorders. Slows down skin function and cell development, resulting in premature aging. Used in many products (baby oil is 100% mineral oil!) Any mineral oil derivative can be contaminated with cancer causing PAH's (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons). Manufacturers use petrolatum because it is unbelievably cheap. Mineral oil Liquidum paraffinum (also known as posh mineral oil!) Paraffin oil Paraffin wax Petrolatum Among the studies linking the petrolatum impurity PAHs to breast cancer is a Columbia University study in which researchers found that the breast tissue of women with breast cancer was 2.6 times more likely to contain elevated levels of PAHs bound to DNA (called DNA adducts) than the breast tissue of women without breast cancer (Rundle et al. 2000). The National Toxicology Programs finds that some PAHs are reasonable anticipated to be human carcinogens, and the State of California lists a number of PAHs as carcinogens in its Proposition 65 program (NTP 2002, OEHHA 2004). Petrolatum is listed as a probable human carcinogen in the European Union's Dangerous Substances Directive (UNECE 2004).
