Subject Interesting Find in Lipstick!

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

From: Dr. Nahid Neman

If there is a female you care anything about, share this with her.

I am also sharing this with the males on my email 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:

1. CHRISTIAN DIOR
2. LANCOME
3. CLINIQUE
4. Y.S.L
5. ESTEE LAUDER
6. SHISEIDO
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
9. 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 colour 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.

This one seems to be an urban legend.

I always try to look things up before passing them along, too, but there are those days when I don't get a chance to do so! So I know how she feels!! :p :p :p

Lol...same here! Let's hope I haven't made any enemies by passing faulty info on to them. I'd hate for anyone to lose sleep over it.
