(1999) conducted a case-control study in Sweden investigating the risk of oral cancer from occupational exposures and particular occupations. The cases consisted of all histopathologically verified squamous cell oral cancer cases in the Cancer Register for four counties in Sweden. A total of 410 cases out of 419 identified individuals were used. One control was matched for each case on the basis of age, sex, county of residence, and age at death if the case was deceased. Questionnaires were sent to all living subjects and next of kin for

Not always gives cancer, but it has metals in it, but there are alternates such as Bert's Bee's type deoterent.\nIt does'nt contain any metals although it may be a little more expensive.\nI dont know what kind of cancer it could cause, but remember, it goes in your bloodstream, so it could cause any kind.\nIt's best to avoid all metals in your body.\nNo idea what the chances are.

There are no (absolutely no) health risks involved with either one. That whole cancer scare was started by a guy whose wife died of brain cancer, and he blamed it on her cell phone. But people who eat carrots also die of brain cancer. And people who drive cars. And people who eat breakfast...  But you can't place blame on just anything. Your phone is safe, and independent research (i.e., by people who have no axe to grind) have shown no correlation.

Hands down Rummy's record with GW's will triple Saddam's... People are going to die for 30 years in Iraq over radiation poisoning. Our soldiers will be part of the death too, because of the exposure just like the agent orange they sprayed in Vietnam.

The possibility exists according to a 2001 report from University of Southern California School of Medicine and published by the American Cancer Society that there may be a possible link between hair dye and bladder cancer. Of course the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association disagrees with this assessment.\n\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x_Study_Finds_Possible_Link_Between_Hair_Dye_and_Bladder_Cancer_.asp\n\n"Article date: 2001/02/02  \n Women who regularly use permanent hair dye may increase their risk of bladder cancer, according to the results of a study in the Feb. 1 issue of the International Journal of Cancer. \n\nThe study also looked at occupational exposure ? barbers and salon workers who use dyes. Though this study is the first to look at how often people are exposed to hair dye and their risk of developing bladder cancer, Manuela Gago-Dominguez, MD, PhD, of the University of Southern California School of Medicine in Los Angeles, says, "Unfortunately, at this moment we do not have the necessary information to make a recommendation to the public."\n\n"In our study we have found an association between hair dye use and bladder cancer, which does not necessarily mean that hair dye use is a major cause of bladder cancer," says Gago-Dominguez\n\nGago-Dominguez and her colleagues compared 897 patients with bladder cancer who used hair dye, with a similar number of adults without bladder cancer. The researchers found that the women who used permanent hair dye at least once a month were twice as likely as women who did not use permanent hair dye to develop bladder cancer. These results held true whether or not the women smoked. Smoking is the greatest risk factor for bladder cancer.\n\nWomen who reported using permanent hair dye at least once a month for 15 years were three times more likely to have bladder cancer, and subjects who worked for 10 or more years as hairdressers or barbers were five times more likely to have bladder cancer compared to individuals not exposed, according to the study.\n\n"We hope that our study can serve as an impetus to resume the lines of research that are needed for the resolution of this important public health issue," Gago-Dominguez says."

Yes, and it may eventually casue skin cancer.  Proven fact.

"Da Pool Stick" is clueless.  Here is a major quote about the cancer risks associated with aspartame.  This quote comes from the U.S. government's research journal "Environmental Health Perspectives", March 2006 issue.\n\n"The results of this mega-experiment indicate that APM (aspartame) is a multipotential carcinogenic agent, even at a daily dose of 20 mg/kg body weight, much less than the current acceptable daily intake.  On the basis of these results, a reevaluation of the present guidelines on the use and consumption of APM is urgent and cannot be delayed."\n\nThe FDA has serious conflicts of interest (primarily money from the pharmaceutical industry) that often cause its actions not to be in the best interest of the public.  We have seen the terribly negative effect of these conflicts (with potentially hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths from drug side-effects) with the recent 'fiasco's' over common drugs including: Hormone Replacement Therapy (Premarin), NSAIDs (especially Vioxx), Ritalin, and SSRIs (anti-depressants).\n\nHope you find this helpful.

Agent Orange is a roughly 1:1 mixture of two phenoxy herbicides in ester form, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). These herbicides were developed during the 1940s by independent teams in England and the United States for use in controlling broad-leaf plants. Phenoxy agents work by mimicking a plant growth hormone, indoleacetic acid (IAA). When sprayed on broad-leaf plants they induce rapid, uncontrolled growth, eventually killing them. When sprayed on crops such as wheat or corn, it selectively kills just the broad-leaf plants in the field - the weeds - leaving the crop relatively unaffected. First introduced in 1946, these herbicides were in widespread use in agriculture by the middle of the 1950s.\n\nIt was later learned that a dioxin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD), is produced as a side effect of the manufacture of 2,4,5-T, and was thus present in any of the herbicides that used it. The National Toxicology Program has classified TCDD to be a human carcinogen, frequently associated with soft-tissue sarcoma, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). 2,4,5-T has since been banned for use in the US and many other countries.\n\nThe herbicide 2,4-D does not contain dioxin, and remains one of the most used herbicides in the world today.\n\nDiseases associated with dioxin exposure are chloracne, soft tissue sarcomas, Hodgkin's disease, and non-Hodgkin's disease. Diseases with limited evidence of an association with Agent Orange are respiratory cancers, prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, Porphyria cutanea tarda (a type of skin disease), acute and subacute transient peripheral neuropathy, spina bifida, Type 2 diabetes, and acute myelogenous leukemia found only in the second or third generation. Diseases with inadequate or insufficent evidence of an association are hepatobiliary cancers, nasal or nasophargyngeal cancers, bone cancer, female reproductive cancers, renal cancer, testicular cancer, leukemia, spontaneous abortion, birth defects, neonatal or infant death and stillbirths, low birth weight, childhood cancers, abnormal sperm parameters, cognitive neuropsychiatric disorders, ataxia, peripheral nervous system disorders, circulatory disorders, respiratory disorders, skin cancers, urinary and bladder cancer. Diseases with limited or suggestive evidence of no association are gastrointestinal tumors such as stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, and rectal cancer, and brain tumors.

it happened in 1962 as a defoliant it was not just agent orange theirs several different colors. it has a half life of 10 years which means you can be contaminated in 10 years.the rice supply in japan was also contaminated too.i believe spraying stopped in 1975.they also came outwith super orange

Not sure what you're asking here . . .\n\nAre you asking why Agent Orange has remained in the systems of people exposed?  If so, the answer is that the problem isn't the Agent Orange (a mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T herbicides), but the 2,3,7,8-TCDD contamination that was a byproduct of the reaction mechanism used to make the herbicides.  2,3,7,8-TCDD is a fat-soluble organochlorine that bio-accumulates and is not removed from the body through the normal waste-removal processes.

My father manufactured the active ingredient in agent orange,(C-5,6), at Hooker Chemical's Montague Michigan plant for the duration of the Vietnam War. The process was so volatile and so toxic that it had to be manufactured on a seven story wall-less superstructure in the middle of a 160 acre field. All of the production was then loaded on railway tankcars for shippment to Dow Chemical of Midland Mi.for addition of solvents and packaging for shipment to the military. At the close of the war, the superstructure was dismantled, and it, and all associated equipment, tools etc. were buried in a huge clay lined disposal pit on the site. The site remains a Toxic hot spot to this day and all of the surrounding neighborhood has water piped into them as the groundwater is highly contaminated. From '82-'93 my father ran a chlorine plant's maintainence department on the persian gulf, about 25 kliks from Kuwait City in Saudi. In 1997 he fell ill with the small cell cancer that has become consistent, though unrecognized by our government, as due to exposure to AO or its components. I know this as I was a service officer for the Am Legion Post here in my  town, and have seen the wreckage that this stuff left in its wake. I am an Non Combatant, US Navy, Vietnam Era vet, ( Commonly refferred to as a "rear echelon puke" ), who salutes and thanks you for your service. Hope you are well, and look forward to your Photo posts as you are quite knowledgeable on the subject. God Bless, Jed

No, it doesn't cause cancer says the latest tests.  The ones where it did cause cancer they were giving mice ridiculous amounts of the stuff. (like 1000 pops a day).\n\nBut I'm pretty sure that will be an ongoing debate.

propylene glycol in almost all deodorants gets in the body through deodorant I don't think its impossible to realize it is causing cancer, it's right near the breast and lympnods.\n\nIt's not a risk I'm willing to take and makes plenty of sense , since the breast cancer rate has gone up it probably match's when the started putting this into our skin care products. \n\nI check all my beauty and hair products and it's shocking how many items have this ingredient it's even in junk food!!!  it was in my Bed head hair products, face creams, candy bars, it's a cheap filler to keep things "moist" that tells me too that the product is not doing it's job if it's filled with a cheap substance instead of the more important ingredients.\n\nYour body doesn't know what to do with it and it STAYS in the body, in the fatty tissues (ps your brain is this type of tissue too)  There are deodorants with out but I have to seen an anti presperant with it actually I haven't seen or hear of a anti presperant that doesn't have aluminum which is also not good for your body.\n\ni'll keep my breast thank you very much.
