According to a new study, black women who use dark hair dyes may face a higher risk of developing breast cancer, while chemical relaxers and straighteners boost the risk in white women. The study, which involved over 4,000 women, found that black women who used dark brown or black dyes had a 51 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer, while white women who used hair relaxers had a 74 percent higher risk.
根据一项新研究，使用深色染发剂的黑人女性有更大可能患上乳腺癌，而化学软化剂和直发器会增加白人女性的乳腺癌风险。这项研究包含了4000多名女性，结果表明使用深棕色或黑色染发剂的黑人女性患乳腺癌的风险增加了51%，而使用头发蓬松剂的白人女性患乳腺癌的风险增加了74%。
However, while the study found a possible link between the hair products and breast cancer risk, it did not prove a connection. Study lead author Adana Llanos, said, "The reality is that we regularly encounter a variety of harmful exposures, which we have no control over. We should limit or reduce the possibility of harmful exposures when we are able to do so."
但是，虽然这项研究发现美发产品和乳腺癌风险之间可能有关系，但却不能证明两者之间有必然联系。研究领导人者亚达纳·兰诺斯说“实际情况是我们通常会接触到各种各样的有害物质，我们根本无法控制。所以，当我们能够控制的时候，就一定要减少接触有害物质。”
