The study looked at more than 46,000 women ages 35 to 74 over a span of six years.
Overall, the study found that regular use of permanent hair dye was associated with a 9% increased risk of developing breast cancer. The study also broke down the results by race and found that for white women in the study there was a 7% increased risk of developing breast cancer. For black women, the risk could be as high as 45% which the study suggests is likely due to different chemicals in hair products specifically for black women’s hair texture. For heavy use of hair dye the risk increased to 60% for black women and 8% for white women.Each woman in the study had a sister with breast cancer, making them part of a high-risk population, which makes the results of the study hard to extrapolate across the general population, according to Ashton.
In addition, the study showed association, not cause and effect, so it does not show a"direct causal link" between hair dye and breast cancer, noted Ashton.In this stock photo a women appears to have her hair colored."We don’t know the absolute risk here," said Ashton."We don’t know the absolute number of cases that could be tied to these findings.
Headline is so misleading! There is no causation, it was a very high risk group studied, and it cannot be translated to the general population! 🙄
Yeah that makes sense.
My sister had a beauty shop and is fighting breast cancer now. my mom had a beauty shop for many years and died of cancer. Coincidence?

I first heard of this decades ago...
Breathing causes cancer. Welcome to allowing corporations to make our laws.
According to studiesjust breathing can cause cancer. Why don’t we live and stop coming up with these studies. So we all walk around with grey hair and Afros
Does it cause premature gray?
Well, doesn't everything in this country cause it? Might as well keep using it, lmao.
This is why we can’t have nice things
Is that why Nancy Pelosi is acting like that
