Think Before you Pink!!!
makes me think of my great grandma.…she always had to have pink or beige tissue…always!!!
The one thing that boggles my mind is:
Yes, support the cause. (And I love the colour pink
)
…But with all these pink personal care items, would the dye not pose a much larger issue in the future? Even if it is considered food grade now?
Just saying…
Must be popular as I tried to buy some at FB a couple weeks ago & all sold out! RCSS has it but it was $6! LOL too high for me! Will wait for a better sale, haha
Oh, I do wish it wasn’t such an objectionable colour. :-/
Year ago there was coloured toilet paper. It was found to contribute to colon cancer. After that the yellows, greens, and pinks were deleted from companies production lines.
Hs something changed or are we supporting breast cancer at the expense of colon cancer?
Alex — perhaps you should contact the company and ask if their toilet paper is colon cancer safe. I don’t buy this stuff, my bum is satisfied with the white variety.
I just thought the free yoga mat was a neat idea. I did look into this and apparently there was scares in the 90s of how coloured toilet paper causes colon cancer, but I didn’t find anything further on the topic.
I did find this however:

In the comments section, there is a lady from PR Lindsey, that responded to this concern. Of course this is not any kind of official statement, but I tried:
“Pink Cashmere was created specifically to raise funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and is 100% hypoallergenic and dermatologist approved to ensure that it is suitable for normal skin. The dye used in it is a paper tissue colourant appropriate for contact with human skin.”
