Chemicals that are commonly found in personal care products such as moisturizers, nail polishes, hair sprays, and perfumes have been linked to an increased risk of diabetes in women. The risk occurs when the chemicals - known as phithalates - become concentrated in the body. In a recent study women with the highest levels of certain phithalates had almost twice the risk of diabetes.
The chemicals are also used in adhesives, electronics, and other products. Phithalates - free personal care products can be found in most health food stores.
