Be smart and pretty

In other case of a too quick click, today I received the following email entitled "Girls take note":

Something to consider
next time you go shopping for
lipstick……

This comes from someone
who works in the breast cancer unit at
Mt. Sinai Hospital, in Toronto
From: Dr. Nahid Neman
If there is a female you care anything about,
share this with her. I did!!!!!
I am also sharing this with the males on my email list,
       because they need to tell the females
THEY care about as well!
                Recently a lipstick brand called "Red Earth"
decreased their prices from
        $67 to $9.90.

                It contained lead.
Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
The lipstick brands that contain lead are:
     CHRISTIAN DIOR

      LANCOME

   CLINIQUE

     Y.S.L

    ESTEE LAUDER

    SHISEIDO

    RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)

     CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)

   MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.

        The higher the lead content,
the greater the chance of causing cancer.
        After doing a test on lipsticks,
it was found that the Y.S.L. lipstick
        contained the most amount of lead.
Watch out for those lipsticks
        which are supposed to stay longer.
If your lipstick stays longer, it is
        because of the higher content of lead.
Here is the test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick colour changes to black,
then you know the lipstick contains lead.
Please send this information to all your girlfriends,
wives and female family members.
This information is being circulated at
Walter Reed Army Medical Center
Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer,
especially breast cancer.

As I suspected, the well-intentioned friend who passed it along was an unwitting accomplice to another email fraud.  According to Snopes, there are several inaccuracies in this alert.

1.  Lipstick does not contain dangerous levels of lead.

2.  Lead does not cause cancer.

3.  Wedding rings do not make good lead detectors.

Yours in truth,

Barry
