So this is, we're not talking about rats that were subjected to extremely high doses, which is what you normally see. This is doses that you would see in products that are being sold on store shelves that people are using day in and day out as we speak. They have not been banned. They haven't been outlawed. They are still very much prevalent in the marketplace.
The implications would be that even though there's 41 women, this study showed that the breast cancer genes were activated when they started, meaning that the products that they were using with those ingredients were responsible for activating those genes. Once they took those ingredients away, breast cancer genes turned off. What does this mean?

This means that once you stop using products that contain parabens, phthalates, and other xenoestrogens, that breast cancer genes turn off, meaning you reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. One of the risk factors for developing breast cancer is the activation of breast cancer genes. That's the first step in the process of developing cancer is the genes need to be turned on.

Something needs to be turned on because estrogen is actually a carcinogen. It's naturally occurring in the body, but what it does is stimulate growth. Stimulate growth in estrogen responsive tissues. The breast, the brain, the uterus, the cervix, the gut even has estrogen receptors in it. So these estrogen receptors are all over our bodies.

And when we're putting products on our skin that have estrogenic ingredients, they're getting absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and traveling to areas of the body that are responsive to estrogen, clearly the breast.

Absolutely, parabens being one of them. So there are several different types of parabens, and you can find these on your personal care products just by turning the bottle around and looking at the ingredients list. And you can see methylparaben, butylparaben, propylparaben, those tend to be the most commonly used parabens.

There's a long-held belief within the cosmetic industry that these parabens are innocuous, that the amount absorbed is so low that it doesn't matter, but clearly the study shows otherwise.

This is an excellent question. And I set out to do research myself. I walked into a store and I picked up several products to see how many out there still have parabens. What are the major products that I see being promoted online that still contain these ingredients? One of them being CeraVe. CeraVe is one of the major brands out there right now.
