> For example, here is what FDA says on parabens (something people often freak about needlessly)
1. Parabens aren't homogenous
2. There is very concrete evidence now that SPECIFIC parabens induce an identical or near-identical effect as an excessively high estrogen level, which includes breast cancer and cervical cancer.
3. There is also mounting evidence that SPECIFIC parabens accumulate in vitro and hence circumvent the metabolism.
4. There is recent evidence that it's a lot easier to cross the daily threshhold of topical paraben application than expected because consumers apply larger amounts of products.
> Everything is carcinogenic. It's the dose that is a poison not the substance
Of course, life itsself is carcinogenic but that doesn't mean all substances are equally dangerous, which is the whole point here.
