Most people think that "Pink Ribbon" leaders are doing a great job in helping prevent the breast cancer epidemic. However, they are sponsored by cosmetic companies that include products that cause cancer; this includes Estee Lauder, Avon, and Revlon. Breast Cancer Awareness Month was started by a drug company, Astra Zenica, that sells chemotherapy drugs. These companies are promoting a cure for cancer but do nothing for prevention. Companies such as the American Cancer Society also have a conflict of interest because they accept money from the drug companies that manufacture chemotherapy. The cosmetic industry is targeting women of childbearing age to use their unsafe products. There are 300 known toxic chemicals found in umbilical cord blood.
