Lipstick Find. Is this true?

Something to consider next time you go shopping for......
LIPSTICK

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 DID!!!! 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 dollars to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

The lipstick brands that contain lead are:
Christian Dior
Lancome
Clinique
YSL
Estee Lauder
Shiseido
Red Earth lip gloss
Chanel (lip conditioner)
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 YSL lipstick contained the most amount of lead.

Watch out for these lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of a higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself

Put some lipstick on your hand
Use a gold ring to scratch on the lipstick
if the lipstick color changes to black, then you know the lipstick contains lead.

Please send this information on. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer.
