American scientists have made the top list of the most dangerous "women's" products. The top line took hair sprays, nail polish and tanning. Regular use of these tools leads to metabolic disorders.
Scientists at Brigham Women's Hospital conducted a study involving 2,350 Americans aged 20 to 80 years. Volunteers agreed to provide for the study of their medical records, and donated blood at the level of phthalates (substances included in the cosmetics and personal care products).
After analyzing the data, the researchers concluded that, compared with women whose salt content of phthalic acid in the blood was normal, high concentration of the mono-benzyl phthalate and mono-isobutyl phthalate increases the likelihood of diabetes twice. In women with high levels of mono-3-carboxypropyl phthalate chances of getting the disease increases by 60%, and for women with moderately high levels of mono-n-butyl phthalate and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate - 70%.
Scientists say that the level of phthalates in the female body is higher than in men, as the ladies often use products containing hazardous substances (they are part of the soaps, shampoos, etc.). Sooner or later, the concentration of phthalic acid salts in their blood may reach the limit point.
The most dangerous cosmetic scientists recognized hair sprays, nail and tanning agents. Their regular use cause metabolic disorders in 40 of the 1,000 women suffering diabetes . Additional research staff of Children's Environmental Health Center at Mount Sinai Medical Center have shown that high concentrations of phthalates in the blood may also trigger obesity in adolescents.
Experts advise people to give up products containing harmful substances and cosmetics manufacturers to improve their structure. However, scientists admit that the mechanism of the effect of phthalates on the human body are still not fully understood. In addition, experts have tested so far not all cosmetics. Investigations continue into the near future.
