An alarming new study warns that permanent hair dyes and chemical straighteners could raise a woman's risk of breast cancer.
Researchers analyzed data from nearly 47,000 U.S. women, followed for an average of more than eight years as part of the federally funded Sisters Study.
The findings need to be replicated in other studies, stressed study co-author Dale Sandler, chief of the NIEHS' Epidemiology Branch. Even so, it might be wise to avoid chemical straighteners and permanent hair dyes, she said. However, the new study"really suggests a plausible link" between certain hair care products and cancer, she said.
"I am so sad that my youthful ombre may be at risk, as a woman of a certain age who regularly colors her hair," Police said."However, as the article readily admits, more study is necessary.""There are many points that I take issue with in this study," said Dr. Lauren Cassell, chief of breast surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. She pointed out that the Sisters Study's population isn't representative of women as a whole.
