Because they are part of an international plot to kill off people who ask silly questions?Why do company's use carcinogenic ingredients in food and cosmetic products?
you're pretty gullible, but if you want to, why not just avoid those products altogether and go natural?Why do company's use carcinogenic ingredients in food and cosmetic products?
It's cheaper.





These products function as preservatives.





They have not found a ';natural'; solution that works just as reliably (ie. natural anti preservatives).





I can see both sides of the coin. On the one hand, there are conflicting studies and some studies say that ingredient X causes cancer and some studies say that it does not. There's so much conflicting information that companies are not going to change their formulas and spend all of this new money to research alternatives when there's no real substantial proof that what they're using now causes cancer. And a lot of times, that ';natural'; stuff is just not as effective. I have used every natural deodorant on the planet and they don't work as well as regular products. I have tried every natural diet pill on the planet and none work. The only thing that has worked for me as prescription phentermine.





On the other hand, I don't want to use products that cause cancer if that is indeed the case.





But the way I look at it, our ancestors didn't use these ';Harmful'; products because these products had not yet been invented. Yet, they died at ages far earlier than humans do now. If you're looking for the fountain of health and youth, maybe you are barking up the wrong tree.
Because everything is carcinogenic these days.
