parabens and breast cancer

parabens and breast cancer

I have been doing a lot of reading about various ways we can reduce our risks of cancer and diabetes.  I have recently learnt that parabens are the least harmful preservative put into cosmetics, bath products, lotions - face and body, etc.  I have also read that these products contain formaldehydes (scary!).
What I also read is that parabens have been found in all of the breast cancer tumours tested (for parabens).  100%.  so, what I want to know is if more reasearch is being done to prove that these are a causative factor for breast cancer?
I really don't want to put these chemicals into/on my body, so I started to use Sense skin and bath products.  High antioxidants, NO preservatives at all.  If any one else is concerned, I signed up as a customer online at www.nutriceuticals.usana.com (you can order "retail", but registered customers save 10%, and there are packages deals, etc.)  It isn't sold in stores.  it is the safest product out there that I have found.  my friend told me about that site, and i am so happy she did.  I never used to think twice about what I washed with, hydrated my skin with, and so on.

oh...and if you read your cosmetics, they may not say "paraben", but still have it by a different name.  don't be confused by that.
