Are Hair Dyes to Die For?

commercial chemical hair dyes have known cancer links. there are natural alternatives that are safe and effective for coloring hair without chemicals

(PRWEB) February 7, 2005 -- The Problem:
Some 35-40% of women ages 18 to 60 color their hair. Research shows a strong connection between the use of commercial hair dyes and various forms of cancer. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute estimate 20% of all cases of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, the cancer that killed Jackie Kennedy Onassis, are due to women using commercial hair dyes. There is also a very high incidence of cancer among hairdressers.

The research was highlighted in the Doctors Prescription for Healthy Living Newsletter, Volume 2, Number 1. The article is footnoted with numerous references and research on the subject.

The problem has been described in some detail in:
