They also increase the chance of breast and skin cancers as well as low sperm count in men and other hormonal problems. This weekend, I learned that many skin care products also contain estrogen compounds. Water follows estrogen, so it used on purpose for anti wrinkling products.
The most common names of environmental estrogens to watch out for are:
While I believe that everyone should avoid these ingredients, people that I’ve given selenium and Vitamin E to should be especially cautious, as well as anyone who has a family history of breast or skin cancer, hormonal problems, or even if you suffer from low back pain.
