Parabens have been linked to breast and prostate cancer. The reason to avoid them is b/c there is an overabundance of toxic estrogenic compounds (pesticides that are in the air and water and food, factory pollution, etc) in our environment.<br /><br />i'll add more laterLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941512439486707309noreply@blogger.com
