Synthetic fragrances (found everywhere!) may accumulate in our bodies and inhibit the body's immune system. It is the immune system that fights other environmental toxins and cancer when it arises in our body.
"Synthetic musks that are widely used as fragrances in products such as soaps, cosmetics and detergents may reduce the body's ability to defend against toxic compounds" says a study in the January 2005 issue of Environmental Health Perspectives.
About 8,000 metric tons of synthetic musks are produced worldwide each year. In laboratory research using human tissue, researchers at Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station found that exposure to synthetic musks inhibited the tissue's natural defenses against toxic compounds.
This effect persisted long after the end of the tissue's exposure to the synthetic musks. These musks concentrate in fats, including breast milk, and remain in human tissue long after exposure. This study's suggestion that they could harm the body's ability to fight other toxicants certainly merits further examination" states Dr. Jim Burkhart, science editor for Environmental Health Perspectives.
