How Everyday Chemicals Fuel Breast Cancer From The Inside Out
The Truth About Every Day Chemicals Causing Cancer
Natural Health 365 reports:
Walk down any supermarket aisle and you’ll see a massive amount of plastic surrounding so many products. This synthetic material cradles your food, coats your cosmetics, and even lines the medical devices meant to keep you alive. But behind the glossy packaging lies an invisible threat: phthalates.
These synthetic chemicals, used to make plastics flexible and fragrances linger, are now being implicated in something far darker than environmental clutter. According to a recent review in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, phthalates may not just disrupt hormones. They may actively help breast cancer grow, spread, and resist treatment.
For decades, regulators assured us that trace amounts of phthalates were “harmless.” After all, they pass quickly through the body. But the latest science suggests otherwise: repeated, low-level exposures can trigger changes at the cellular level that set the stage for breast carcinogenesis. In other words, it’s not the dose you notice; it’s the dose that keeps accumulating invisibly, day after day.
