Beauty and the breast: carcinogens in cosmetics
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to finding a cure for this leading cause of death in US women ages 34 to 44. The rate of incidence among women has risen from 1 in 22 in the 1940s to 1 in 7 in 2004, and breast cancer is also on the rise in men.
