Do PHTHALATES Increase Your BREAST CANCER Risk?

Phthalates are endocrine disruptors, and exposure to phthalates has been linked to breast cancer, developmental issues, decreased fertility, obesity and asthma.

There are two chemicals that have become prevalent in both conventional personal care and household products and also in the environment that are linked to breast cancer: parabens and phthalates. Here, we’re going to be looking at phthalates. Evidence links several specific phthalates to breast cancer and other negative health effects. What exactly are they? Phthalates are known as the “everywhere” chemical. They are a class of chemicals used to make plastics soft, flexible and stable. Some phthalates are used as solvents and stabilizers in product formulations You can find phthalates in many consumer products, including: nail polish, fragrances, plastics, building materials, cleaning products, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, food packaging, home decor, children's toys, and personal care products. Phthalates are also used in pharmaceutical capsules to impart delayed- or extended-release properties Phthalates are ubiquitous in our environment and very hard to avoid. So, there are two major groups of phthalates. The first group contains chemicals that are found in numerous plastics and PVC-based products including: Shower curtains, vinyl floors, PVC mini-blinds, furniture, soft-sided lunch boxes, plastic food wrap and packaging, soft plastic food containers, and medical devices such as intravenous (IV) bags and tubing. Phthalates found in this group include: Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and its main metabolites (breakdown products) mono-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP), mono-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP) Di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP) and its major metabolite mono-(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate (MCPP) Diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) The second group of phthalates are found in solvents, and a number of your everyday products including: Cosmetics and personal care products, tampons and other feminine hygiene products, fragrances in perfumes, personal care products, and many household products, hair spray, nail polish, air fresheners (plug-ins, sprays, and reed diffusers), adhesives, and paints Examples of this second group of phthalates compounds include: Diethyl phthalate (DEP) and its major metabolite mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP) Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and its major metabolite mono-methyl phthalate (MMP) Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and its major metabolite mono-n-butyl phthalate (MBP) Diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP) and its major metabolite mono isobutyl phthalate (MiBP) Benzylbutyl phthalate (BzBP) and its major metabolite mono-benzyl butyl phthalate (MBzP) You can be exposed to phthalates by inhalation, ingestion, intravenous absorption (resulting from medical injection procedures) and skin absorption. Phthalates are endocrine disruptors which means they can disrupt several hormonal systems in the human body, including the estrogen, progesterone and androgen systems. Phthalates can induce proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumor formation of estrogen receptor negative breast cancers. What's interesting about that is that it shows that they have negative health consequences beyond their ability to disrupt hormones. Phthalate metabolites (the compounds that our bodies turn them into before they are excreted) in the urine are linked to an increased risk of both breast cancer and uterine fibroids. Phthalates are linked to early breast development in girls, which increases the risk of breast cancer and other diseases. Fetuses and infants, who are at critical stages of development, are particularly sensitive to phthalate exposure. Phthalates can cross the placenta and are present in and can be transmitted through breast milk, it is important that women of child-bearing age, pregnant women and mothers who are breast-feeding avoid phthalate exposure. #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #breastcancersurvivor Check out our full blog post on this topic here: https://blog.damiva.com/exposure-to-p...
