Have you heard of Pinkwashing?
This is what happens when companies promote breast cancer awareness to boost sales while using harmful chemicals in their products.
Pinkwashing can also cause what I call the "health halo." You see the pink ribbon, so you think the product is safe. It's like going into Whole Foods and assuming that everything sold there is good for you. Sorry if I just blew your mind.
Here's why I think Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a Scam:
Products promoting breast cancer awareness often contain harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and BPA, which can disrupt hormones and increase breast cancer risk. Despite this, they are still marketed during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Some alcohol companies display the pink ribbon on their products, despite research showing that alcohol consumption is a known risk factor for breast cancer. Studies indicate that women who drink regularly have a higher risk of developing the disease, with those consuming one drink a day facing a 7-10% increased risk.
Here are my action steps:
Choose a starting point and take action.
Following my breast cancer diagnosis, I evaluated the products I used on my skin and face. The average American woman uses about 20 products daily, totaling around 168 different chemicals, including makeup, toothpaste, and shampoo.
Studies show that when a woman reduces her toxin load for just 28 days, she can reduce her risk of breast cancer.
Great News!
