To the memory: In the year 2004 a study had proven arrears of the preservative Paraben, which is used in Deodorants, body sprays, cosmetics, and drugs for the extension of the durability, in cancer tumors. The scientists judged from it a connection between Paraben containing Deodorants and cancer of the breast. Thereupon experts had guessed among other things also the German cancer company to do without Paraben containing Deodorants for the time being.

„Using by Antiperspirants and/or Deodorants, which aluminum salts, antimicrobial substances and preservatives contain, increases the breast cancer risk? To “this question Professor Dr. Anton Scharl (Amberg) followed, to Professor Dr. Uwe-Jochen Göhring (Bonn) and Dr. Florian contactor (Heidelberg). They come to the result: „Particularly under the aspect that those are clearly better occupied risk increasing effect of other factors of the lifestyle such as reproduction and nourishing behavior, the focus should aim at it that these realizations lead to a positive change of behavior, instead of through bad or not at all occupied theses for the cancer of the breast emergence of fears to be released. “

The fact that the cancer of the breast experts women rather guess/advise to a healthy lifestyle surprises. Naturally the avoidance of predominance and fat-rich nutrition, more vegetable food and above all movement can healing to decrease the risk at cancer of the breast to get sick. Anyhow these experts see therein many larger chances, than the danger, which the used chemicals could ever cause.

The scientists nevertheless call to further studies, in order to be able to exclude the risk, as they formulate that. „The insufficient data situation is however reason of enough to examine the hypothesis further and carefully planned toxicological to accomplish pharmacological and epidemiological studies “, reads the recommendation of the experts. But with the formulation the result is practically already marked. Whether still result-open research is?

In the message also to Bundesinstitut for Risk evaluation (BfR) it is referred that 2004 had judged: „There is no scientific proof at present that the use of such Deodorants increases the risk of a cancer of the breast illness. However due to the fact that Parabens could be contained in tumor fabrics by cancer of the breast patients, it can be manufactured according to opinion of the institute still no causal connection between these materials and the emergence of cancer of the breast. When investigations at the animal (in vivo) for the hormonal effect of Parabens there were besides no clear results. Referring to a weak estrogenic effect pointed themselves only with Butylparaben to administration of very high doses. In view of the re-valuation by scientific committees of the European Union, which can be expected, the BfR considers no measures at present necessary. “

But completely united are not itself the experts. In a statement (statement on a possible cancer endangerment by Parabens, 1W. Parzefall, C. printer, N. Erlach, A. Losert, 2M. Mick 1Department toxicology, 2Abt. Applied one and experimental Oncology, Institute for cancer research,
) The scientists the following determine medical University of Vienna, provided for the Austrian cancer assistance: “The actual risk cannot be measured due to the unsatisfactory data situation at present. As a precaution we demand the risk to therefore minimize to use and Parabens as no longer as possible for shoulder sprays or for other cosmetics, which are used at the torso.”

While from the unsatisfactory data situation thus it concludes some expert that everything is not so dangerous, comes the others at the conclusion, dear caution reign to let. Fact is that there are hormone-effective chemical materials, which are used in food, pharmaceuticals and Cosmetic products. Which effects have these materials in the long run on the body, so far not yet sufficiently one examined. And gives to think. Because since 2004 doubts are not only expressed over the connection by Parabens and the emergence by cancer of the breast. But even years later are allegedly present no sufficient data and results. The fact that the science did not clarify that yet makes very puzzled. Does someone have to hide something there?
