A shocking new study found that nearly 200 chemicals linked to breast cancer are being used in food packaging, and, worse yet, dozens of the carcinogens can find their way into the body. “There is strong evidence that 76 known or potential breast carcinogens from food contact materials recently purchased all over the world can be found in people,

Chemicals used in food packaging and linked with health problems have been detected in the human body. The chemicals can move from packaging into food.

Food sold in shrink wrap, on cardboard trays or in paper containers might contain any of nearly 200 chemicals linked to breast cancer, a new study warns.

The study, which was published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, discovered that thousands of chemicals from food packaging can leach into the items themselves. That doesn't sound great—and it's not. But how concerned about this should you be? A toxicologist explains.

Nearly 200 chemicals connected to breast cancer are used in the making of food packaging and plastic tableware, and dozens of those carcinogens can migrate into the human body.

Researchers have identified nearly 200 chemicals used to make food packaging that could possibly increase the risk of breast cancer. Found in plastics and paper, some of the potential mammary carcinogens include polysterene and polyamide,

A study reveals nearly 200 chemicals linked to breast cancer in food packaging and plastic tableware. Researchers urge removing these harmful substances to protect health, as 76 have been found in people.
