American scientists have conducted research and found out that men and women, who constantly dyed hair till 1980, are exposed to the greater risk to be ill of leucosis, than those who did not do it.
The head of the researches Gurth Roshe informed that the hair-dye for a long time has been in the list of potentially dangerous carcinogenic substances and numerous researches of its structure constantly gave inconsistent results.
But this time they have managed to establish, that dangerous are only old formulas of dyes, which contain carcinogenic components. And dyes created after 1980 are quite safe for the health.
During the research experts compared 769 patients with acute leukemia and 623 healthy persons. In result scientists found out that those who dyed hair from one to five times during 15 years had twice higher risk of leucosis development, than those from the control group.
Scientists mark, that though use of out-of-date dyes is dangerous to health, this is not obligatory factor of leucosis development. Therefore there is no need to refuse opportunity to change the image.
