Hair dye increases the risk of developing tumors in women

Hair dye has been very popular in the world for centuries, especially among middle-aged and elderly women who are battling gray hair.

For example, in the United States and Europe, women use the dye in 50% to 80% and 10% of men ages 40 and older.

Research has shown that long-lasting hair dye may increase the risk of cancer in women.

Researchers from Harvard University found that the dye significantly increases the likelihood of developing certain types of tumors, including breast, skin and ovarian cancers.

For such a sad result, according to "BMJ" magazine.

Research has also shown that even natural hair color sometimes affects the likelihood of developing certain types of cancer.

Scientists analyzed the records of 117,200 patients, among which were the negative effects of hair dyeing.

It was found that in the beginning, no one had cancer, and after following all the women for 36 years, it was found that those who used long-term dyes were more likely to develop skin cancer.

The same risk has also been observed in women with naturally light (blonde) hair.

In addition, women with naturally dark hair have an increased risk of developing lymph node cancer, as well as an increased risk of breast and ovarian tumors.

The scientists concluded that the more women use hair dye, the greater the risk of developing cancer.
