Many women have filed petitions in different courts in America complaining that due to the chemicals included in the hair straightening product i.e. Permanent Hair Straightening Agents, they have developed a deadly diseases like cancer. Now, these different petitions will be collected and heard in the Chicago court.
In fact, in a research conducted at the National Institute of Health in October 2022, it was revealed that due to the chemicals involved in permanently straightening hair products, complaints of endometrial cancer i.e. uterine cancer have been seen in women. This research was done to find the link between chemical and breast cancer and ovarian cancer. But during the research, the doctors came to understand that actually due to this chemical, the complaints of endometrial cancer i.e. cancer of the uterus are increasing. Uterine cancer is found very rarely in America, it is seen only in 3% of women.
33497 American women aged 35 to 74 were included in this research. This research followed the health of these women for 11 years. During this period, 378 cancer cases were reported from these women.
In this research, it was found that in general, by the age of 70 years, women have a 1.64% chance that they will get cancer, but in women who are using such chemical products, this risk has increased to 4.05%.
According to Dr. Anshuman of Dharamshila Hospital, Bisphenol A and formaldehyde are found in these products, both of which have been found responsible for causing cancer in different research. Both these agents are also present in plastic in the environment. According to Dr. Anshuman of Dharamshila Hospital, the risk of cancer can be reduced only by making the lifestyle simple and simple.
For example, if you are eating fruits and vegetables that are stored instead of eating the fruits of the season, then their lifespan may have been increased by applying a coating of cancer-causing chemicals like formaldehyde. America's center for disease research has also expressed the possibility of having cancer agents in hair dye and other products in December 2022.
