Parabens! I recently found about them and there causes of breast cancer. My mom said that people been using products with Parabens for years. Should I only buy all natural now?

It's really up to you, I would buy natural though. But a lot of stuff apparently cause cancer like some Lipsticks can, but that doesn't stop people wearing lipstick.

Be afraid of everything if you must then. Red meat causes cancer, eggs causes cancer, stress causes cancer, cell phones causes cancer, watching tv or being on the computer causes cancer etc, etc. Stepping out your door and getting in the sun causes cancer, rain can cause cancer especially if you live in a large city like Los Angeles or New York due to all the toxins in the air. Drinking water from the tap can cause cancer, drinking filtered bottle water can cause cancer. Eating processed food can cause cancer.

Even if you were to switch to so-called "all natural" there plastics in the product can leech chemicals that cause cancer. The methods used to make the product can cause cancer.

Do you really want to worry about if something is going to cause cancer? Scientists continue to study the effects of things and one day this or that causes cancer the next it doesn't or there isn't enough data. Even taking an over-the-counter drug can cause cancer so don't worry about parabens since to be honest there hasn't been enough data to prove it one way or another which is what the FDA has concluded. If it was dangerous it would have been banned from cosmetic use.

These things only raise your chances by a small amount. Just keep an eye out for symptoms. My dad would've been okay if he got himself checked when the symptoms started, he died two years ago simply because he wouldn't go for a check up. If you suspect any symptoms go to the doctors. I wouldn't stop using a product if you don't want to, as nearly everything containst stuff that causes cancer.
