A study published in Chemosphere involved healthy female participants who eliminated personal care products containing parabens and phthalates for 28 days. Analysis of breast tissue samples before and after this period revealed a significant reversal of cancer-associated phenotypes, including changes in the PI3K-AKT/mTOR pathway, autophagy, and apoptotic signaling networks.

These findings suggest that minimizing exposure to xenoestrogens - synthetic compounds that mimic estrogen - can potentially reduce breast cancer risk. Parabens and phthalates, often used as preservatives and fragrance enhancers in cosmetics and personal care products, are known xenoestrogens. By choosing products free from these chemicals, individuals may decrease the likelihood of developing cancer-related cellular changes.

Oh man ….

A UCLA study found that chewing both synthetic and natural gum releases hundreds of microplastics into saliva.

Each gram of gum can release up to 600 particles, meaning a single piece may contain up to 3,000. A frequent gum chewer could swallow around 30,000 microplastic particles per year.

Researchers tested ten gum brands—five synthetic and five natural—and found both released similar amounts of microplastics, mainly polyolefins, PET, polyacrylamides, and polystyrenes. Most particles were released within the first two minutes of chewing, with 94% released by the eighth minute.

Though the health effects of microplastic ingestion are still unclear, past studies have linked them to cancer, dementia, and heart disease.
