Make-up 'triggers early menopause': Warning on chemicals in cosmetics and hairspray that can cause periods to stop more than two years early
- A group of chemicals known as pthalates are already thought to raise the risk of cancer, diabetes and obesity
- Researchers at Washington University, Missouri, believe they may also cause early menopause
- Chemicals are found in plastics, cosmetics, household products and food packaging

Chemicals found in make-up, hairspray and food packaging are causing women to hit the menopause early, researchers warn.
Those exposed to high doses have been found to go through the change almost two and a half years before other women.
And in some cases, these chemicals may be causing women to stop having periods 15 years too soon, say scientists.
Bad for your health?: Researchers believe pthalates - chemicals found in cosmetics - may bring on early menopause
There is already is widespread concern over the potential health risks of pthalates, a group of chemicals found in plastics, cosmetics, household products and food packaging.
Recent studies have shown they may increase the risk of cancer, diabetes and obesity and there is even evidence they may feminise the brains of young boys.
Now American researchers say the chemicals are disrupting women’s reproductive systems, including their ovaries, and leading to early menopause.
Dr Natalia Grindler, from Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, and colleagues looked at the levels of pthalates in the blood or urine of 5,700 women.
Long-term impact: Pthalates have previously been linked to increased risks of cancer, diabetes and obesity
Those with the highest amounts were found to have gone through the menopause an average of 2.3 years before the others. The typical age of the menopause is 51, so women exposed to the highest levels were hitting it aged 49.
But Dr Grindler told the American Society of Reproductive Medicine’s conference in San Diego, California, that some women may be going through the menopause 15 years early, in their mid-thirties.
An early menopause is linked to far higher rates of strokes, heart disease, bone problems and fatal brain haemorrhages.
Dr Grindler said: ‘We don’t know yet if some of them are going through it one year earlier or some are going through it 15 years earlier.
‘Early menopause has a lot of impact on your health. We absolutely think these chemicals have the potential to affect ovarian function and human reproduction.
‘There’s a lot that we don’t know at this point, our research is still preliminary, but it’s enough to suggest it is having a detrimental impact in the long term.’
She could not explain why some women were exposed to higher levels of these chemicals. It may be that they wore more make-up, drank bottled water or ate more packaged foods.
But British experts urged women not to worry themselves unnecessarily.
Professor Richard Sharpe, who specialises in reproductive health at the University of Edinburgh said: ‘My concern is not high at this stage. Phthalate exposure is ubiquitous and thus impossible to avoid altogether.
‘Eating fresh, unpackaged food can reduce phthalate exposure but will not eliminate it.’

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its
full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not
mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL"
means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to
know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is
completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles
in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying
for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe
that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when I select
articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, racist,
revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any
other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just
means that it is important for all human beings to know about them.
Common sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good
enough to understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug
decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment,
which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs,
as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and
sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal
record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which
says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical purposes.
The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be absolute.
That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
anti-Semites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your
enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight
them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence
of the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you
say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history,
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
