Or then again, maybe I'm just touchy about it because I'm a cancer survivor and I don't like the idea that because I wore make-up, I bought it upon myself. Maybe, Senusret, that is the reason I am being condescending towards a concept that literally makes no sense. I don't understand how logic can lead a person to infer that make-up weakened one's immune system enough to bring on colon cancer. I mean c'mon.. it's make-up!! MAKE-UP!!!! Millions of women wear it! Heck, maybe even billions. No reported cases of cancer causing blush yet, and with those kind of numbers using a product, it would have happened by now.
Also, Daemon, your logic of "too much of something" isn't a scientfic statement. There was a time when people thought that too much tuna fish could cause cancer. The only time "too much of something" effects people's health would be things like exposure to nuclear radiation, asbestos, and other scientifically proven harmful agents. Now if Ms. Faye had been exposed to an agent like that, and you had mentioned that might have been a contributing factor (yes, I can read thank you very much) to her death, you might be correct. Anyway, your links are not scholarly proof that provide you a basis to tell me in 10 years "I told you so."
Honey, I personally know that cervical cancer is also generated by causes other than HPV. I was just making a contrasting statement to demonstrate a point  |
All those are good points but I never said anything to the tune of "scientific evidence states..." as a matter of fact....as I recall when I first brought it up...I asked if there were any experts on what I mentioned, please come forward.
Too much of something is good logic whether u like it or not...
If you drink too much alcohol u may get alcohol poisoning
You smoke too much you may get lung cancer.
You eat too much you may develop obesity or heart problems
You take too many drugs you may become addicted.
You do too much of ANYTHING there may be consequences are repercussions for whatever it is you do and I don't need a Ph. D. +1000 pages to prove that as scientific...it's called common sense.
The links weren't meant to be 100% proof...they did the same thing that I just did....stated that it's quite possible that exposure to too much makeup COULD BE toxic to your health.
Fact is, we may never know what brought on her cancer since her body has already been cremated but with everything else that she had going on (stress from running a highly visible TV ministry, stress from a divorce, stress from drug abuse.....shoot...just plain ol' stress....) she was BLESSED to live as long as she did!
