Breast cancer, especially in young women, is rising, and we need tools to find environmental causes – now. The study focused on 921 common chemicals, with 90% in daily items like food, drinks, and medications. Over half can cause tumors in animals and mess with hormones linked to breast cancer – and so many other diseases as well!
Screening chemicals for specific harmful traits is a more ethical, faster, and cheaper way than human research or animal studies. And this is urgent, as many of these chemicals are a big part of our daily lives.
This research will impact how agencies like the EPA check chemical safety, especially for those already approved. This breakthrough removes the time/expense hurdle of screening these hundreds of chemicals currently allowed in our everyday products. Prioritizing safety in synthetic chemicals is way overdue!
In the meantime, we can all choose safer products for our home, health, beauty & cleaning needs now. And we don’t need to feel overwhelmed or dejected. I’ve been able to do so just by taking a step-by-step way, simple, and budget-friendly approach.
