Tomorrow I'm blogging about this email from KP about the dangers of lead in lipstick. I thought you'd enjoy reading the entire story.


You might find this important – LIPSTICK INFORMATION

Something to consider next time you go shopping for lipstick… This comes
from someone who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital , in
Toronto.

From Dr. Nahid Nemai: If there is a female you care anything about, share
this with her. I did!! I am also sharing this with the males on my e-mail
list, because they need to tell the females THEY care about as well.
Recently a lipstick brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices from $67
to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

The lipstick brands that contain lead are:
CHRISTIAN DIOR
LANCOME
CLINIQUE
Y.S.L
ESTEE LAUDER
SHISEIDO
RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.

The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.
After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick
contained the most amount of lead. Watch out for those lipsticks which are
supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the
higher content of lead. Here is the test you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black, Then you know the lipstick
contains lead.

Please send this information to all your girlfriends, wives and female
family members. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer.
