Chemicals in Nail Polish tied to Increase in Diabetes Risk!

Phthalates are endocrine disrupting chemicals that are commonly found in personal care products such as moisturizers, nail polishes, soaps, hair sprays and perfumes. They are also used in adhesives, electronics, toys and a variety of other products. For further information  on this subject please explore this link:
