28. Mass Tort Breakdown: Hair Relaxers and How they Form Uterine Cancer

28. Mass Tort Breakdown: Hair Relaxers and How they Form Uterine Cancer

One thing I am passionate about, but often do not talk about, are how unsafe products affect the health and wellness of people just like you and me.


Whenever I hear about a drug that causes cancer, a medical device or product that is causing harm I get interested. I often spend hours research the science behind the complications and the data associated with it.


I decided to do something constructive with that data -- Share it with you!


I hope you find this informative and just as fascinating as I do! Just incase you want to dive a little bit deeper I will leave a ton of resources below for curious minds, like myself.
