I’ve started a page on Facebook called “Pinkwashing Hall of Shame” as a place to support those organizations that are doing real work towards prevention of breast cancer and call out those companies that are pinkwashing. Come join the conversation at http://www.facebook.com/nopinkwashing

What the Cluck? Tell KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to stop pinkwashing!
With their “Buckets for the Cure” campaign, KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure are telling us to buy buckets of unhealthy food to cure a disease that kills women. When a company purports to care about breast cancer by promoting a pink ribboned product, but manufactures products that are linked to the disease, we call that pinkwashing. Make no mistake–every pink bucket purchase will do more to benefit KFC’s bottom line than it will to cure breast cancer. Join us in telling KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to rethink this pinkwashing partnership.

I think in the end we have to do the best we can. A good diet and exercise will help to override any side effects of products we use due to the inability to afford or access the “good stuff”.

Thanks for telling the truth and fighting for a world where companies don’t pollute our bodies, minds or the environment. At Fresh Organics,we don’t use any toxic ingredients but when we talk to buyers, they really don’t get it and they determine what gets shelf space. We need a revolution in awareness about what we put on and in our bodies and it starts with getting this kind of information!

Thanks for bringing attention of the public to this issue. I really enjoyed your book when I read it a year ago. Keep up the good work!!

We have fund raising campaigns for “the cure” every year at our office. It is a lot easier to give money than to seriously examine our lifestyle and diet and the ways they can affect our risk of getting cancer. People don’t plan for the long-term. Most still continue consuming preservatives, artificial colorings, various food additives, and use harsh cleaning chemicals hoping that somebody else will take care of them once they get cancer. Although I am not very optimistic, but I can only hope that in the future people will be looking at ways to prevent and not cure cancer.

Another great eye-opening article by Stacy Malkan. Thank you for continuing to sound the alarm.

15 year old Ava Anderson is launching on Dec 1st the very first line of skincare and cosmetics in the country where every ingredient in every product is a “0″ on the cosmeitcsdatabase.com. Baby, Body and Bath and household cleaning products will be coming soon!

Be very wary of the over-used marketing plow of “natural” and “organic”. Most often these products are not what they seem. Please look up your products on cosmeticsdatabase.com.

If you want to donate to a worthy cause – support the EWG who created the database – these folks are heros. Information is power.

Thank you Stacy!

I wrote an article similar to this on my blog. Not sure if you saw it?

The thing is, those companies, Revlon, etc. don’t necessarily believe that those ingredients are causing cancer. They are looking for a cure, not working on prevention.

Until we get the word out that food and products can lead to cancer, then it’s not use giving them a hard time.

I feel the same way.

I am a breast cancer survivor having just finished my first year following treatment. I find it interesting that one of the programs set up to inspire me at the onset of my illness and treatment is the “Look Good Feel Better”. I received hundreds of dollars of a variety of make ups donated by all the manufacturers. I never thought about the irony of it before. . .

Thank you! I keep complaining about these “cancer cure” causes, and people seem to just think I am paranoid or overly-critical. Everyone wants more chemicals to cure them, but they don’t want to reduce their exposure to carcinogens. How ironic that giving to some of these organizations actually does “support cancer”… not prevention, not cure, but actually supports cancer. People are way too eager to jump on a bandwagon to feel good (or superior) about themselves.
This critique of the American Cancer Society is eye-opening; the Cancer Prevention Coalition (who wrote the critique) might be a more worthy recipient of our donations. http://www.preventcancer.com/losing/acs/wealthiest_links.htm
Oh, and yes Young Living is another one that you might want to investigate a little further.
