Formaldehyde exposure from chemical hair straighteners is known to increase the risk of uterine, ovarian and breast cancer.A study published in the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences last year suggests that women who frequently use hair straightening products (more than four times a year) face over twice the risk of uterine cancer compared to those who do not use such products. Although the study has not examined specific brands or ingredients that elevate the risk, researchers attribute it to the parabens, bisphenol A, metals and formaldehyde in hair straightening products.A team that evaluated the association between ovarian cancer and hair straighteners in a 2021 study found an increased risk with frequent use of the products.In another research conducted in 2019 to evaluate breast cancer risk by ethnicity, a higher risk was associated with hair straightener use and permanent dye, especially among Black women.The chemicals used in hair relaxers can disrupt the endocrine system and can cause reduced fertility in women, according to a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.","og_url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/sw\/fda-inapendekeza-kupiga-marufuku-formaldehyde-katika-dawa-za-kutuliza-nywele-hapa-ni-jinsi-kemikali-hiyo-inavyoathiri-afya\/","og_site_name":"Urban Care Clinic","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar","article_published_time":"2023-10-19T09:09:59+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fda-proposes-ban-on-formaldehyde-in-hair-relaxers-heres-how-the-chemical-affects-health.jpg","type":"","width":"","height":""}],"author":"Urban Care Clinic","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_image":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fda-proposes-ban-on-formaldehyde-in-hair-relaxers-heres-how-the-chemical-affects-health.jpg","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Urban Care Clinic","Est. reading time":"dakika 2"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fda-proposes-ban-on-formaldehyde-in-hair-relaxers-heres-how-the-chemical-affects-health\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fda-proposes-ban-on-formaldehyde-in-hair-relaxers-heres-how-the-chemical-affects-health\/"},"author":{"name":"Urban Care Clinic","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/#\/schema\/person\/f286c4d84be896d302aceda3ed7e789c"},"headline":"FDA Proposes Ban On Formaldehyde In Hair Relaxers;
