Get all the facts about the dangers of toiletries

Re breast cancer and deodorant use, we are encouraged by the increasing awareness of chemicals in personal-care products and the need for a precautionary approach to their use, given the growing links between certain chemicals and negative impacts on human health and the environment.

However, we would like to be assured that women are being given sufficient information about the issues involved so that they may make informed choices while not being made to feel frightened or that they are to blame for their cancer.
