>>14077028here's a series of high-concentration redpills for ya OP:
1. Parabens aren't actually bad for you. There were some initial studies that suggested they might be, and as soon as this was made public knowledge, all of these companies started moving away from parabens and advertising "paraben free" products. This in turn caused more research into parabens, and it turns out that there is really no link between parabens and any negative health effects (which we can be fairly sure of due to: (a) the large amount of studies returning negative results saying "no correlations, sorry" and (b) the fact that there is usually a publication bias in science *against* these types of studies because no one cares when there is no correlation). At the very least, any possible health effects of parabens are really minor and researchers have noted that they are probably no worse than the negative health effects that you would be exposed to by consuming normal, natural, healthy foods.
2. In an ironic twist of fate, it turns out that all of these products which advertise themselves as "paraben free" often include substitutes for parabens which actually DO have negative health effects.
3. Thus, the pharma/beauty/etc. industry has managed to flip this situation on its head, putting toxic substances into their products as a substitute for a non-toxic substance, while convincing the public that this is actually a good thing. OP's image is proof of this latter claim.
