Re: parabens (widely used as preservatives in costmetics, suntancreams, even liqd vit

Totally agree with all said including Caya's observation that as a child bc was hardly heard of let alone in younger women. Must say I also try to avoid any additives but it is very difficult.
As for anti-perspirant deodorants I started using these early teens through to diagnosis. Often makes me wonder what effect this had on my developing breast tissue? My mother and her sisters never develped bc and lived to their late 80's. In their generation deodorants didn't become part of their lives until well past the war so I guess their overall exposure was very reduced. Certainly gives you food for thought!
