		<description><![CDATA[I think that the best strategy is to be completely honest. We are pretty sure parabens are safe, but they are very widely used so we really have to be sure. The things are everywhere now after all. Ideally a long term trial would be carried out using the very low levels of parabens that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is only one point on which I can wholeheartedly agree.  I think that more work should be done to prove that parabens are safe. I still think it is likely that the use of parabens in cosmetics at the levels at which they are used poses no direct risk to the people using them. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So is there any actual evidence beyond conjecture that links parabens with breast cancer? This brings us to the question of the risk posed by underarm deodorants.  For a news story, it is very helpful to focus on one particular type of product.  We all find a specific threat much more compelling than a general [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am pretty sure that this review paper was written after the controversy about parabens had become public, because many of the criticisms of the earlier paper are addressed. It emphasises that any personal care product containing parabens is equally risky, and that the particular kind of product is irrelevant.  This is certainly true – [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first point is that breast cancer is on the increase in recent decades.   This review basically sets out to propose chemicals in cosmetics as an explanation for why breast cancer rates are increasing. There are a number of possible explanations which aren’t discussed.  It could for instance simply be that as we now live [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what leads Dr Darbre to point the finger at cosmetic chemicals, particularly parabens?  There are ways of assessing quantitatively how similar molecules are to oestrogen.  Many many thousands have already been screened.  What the data actually means is nowhere near as clear cut. Lets look a bit more closely at the supposed oestrogenic effects [...]]]></description>

The work was done by a researcher called Dr Philippa Darbre and was reported in the Journal of Applied Toxicology. Tests on samples of 20 different human breast tumours showed  traces of parabens in every sample. &#8220;This is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anything that has much water in it will go mouldy and harbour germs if it isn’t preserved in some way. As most cosmetic products contain water they need some kind of preservative.  One of the most popular families of preservatives are the parabens.  These are  used in pharmaceuticals and food as well as cosmetics.  They [...]]]></description>
