    Default Lead in Lipstick causes cancer

    This comes from the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital, in Toronto.
    From: Dr. Nahid Neman.
    Recently a lipstick brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
    The lipstick Brands that contain lead are:
    1. Christian Dior
    2. Lancome
    3. Clinique
    4. Y.S.L
    5. Estee Lauder
    6. Shiseido
    7. Red Earth (Lip Gloss)
    8. Chanel (Lip Conditioner)
    9. Market America - Motnes Lipstick

    The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer. After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. lipstick contained the most amount of lead.
    Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it may be because of the higher content of lead.
    Here is the test you can do yourself:
    1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
    2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
    3. If the lipstick color changes to black, then you know the lipstick contains lead.

    Yup, if you were dead you couldn't get cancer, so it must be the life.
