Parabens (they're also creepy)

Another thing that I found out about relatively recently is that personal care products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, etc.) most often contain preservatives called parabens. The problem is that they mimic estrogen in the body, and some researchers have tied the use of deodorant that contains parabens with higher rates of breast cancer. No more parabens for me!
