Warning Lipstick that causes Cancer

got this today from a friend who doesn't forward a lot of email but had thought this one should be passed on

From: Dr. Nahid Neman Who works in the breast cancer unit at
Mt. Sinai Hospital , in Toronto .

If there is a female you care anything about, Share this with her. I am also sharing this with the males on my e-mail list,
Because they need to tell the females
THEY care about as well!

Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth' - Sold at ESPRIT!!
Decreased their prices from
$67 to $9.90.

It contained lead.
Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

The lipstick brands that contain lead are:

CHRISTIAN DIOR

LANCOME

CLINIQUE

Y.S.L

ESTEE LAUDER

SHISEIDO

RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)

CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)

MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.

The higher the lead content,
The greater the chance of causing cancer.

After doing a test on lipsticks,
It was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick
Contained the most amount of lead.

Watch out for those lipsticks
Which are supposed to stay longer.

If your lipstick stays longer, it is
Because of the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand.

2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.

3. If the lipstick color changes to black,
Then you know the lipstick contains lead.

Please send this information to all your girlfriends,
Wives and female family members.

This information is being circulated at
Walter Reed Army Medical Center

Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer,
Especially breast cancer.

Who'd have thought it,glad I don't use it often,cheers for that,xxxxxxxx

yep for me as well its been years around 5 I think since I last used lipstick and one of the brands I used to use is on the list
CHRISTIAN DIOR

Glad I don't use it at all!

I'm going to send the warning round all my female friends and relatives, though!

Jeez thats scary,xxxxxxxxx

Me too Snorri,thing is women like the ones which stay on longest too,xxxxxxxxx

Thanks,

I'm never without it...Trouble is I don't like gold and don't have a gold ring to do the test with lol...I like experiments so I'll have to borrow one.

It's the same as deodorant being bad aswell except deodorant doesn't surprise me so much. But what the hell do you use instead?

Some info on Snopes about this Looks like another urban legend.
