Now this worries me! The Story of Stuff tells us that Estee Lauder continue to use unhelpful chemicals in their products, whilst supporting a Breast Awareness Campaign. A little disingenuous, don't you think??
But does the following quote from their website suggest that they have set out to control world-wide research into the causes of breast cancer? Or is that cynical, nay paranoid?!
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® was founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder as an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to funding innovative clinical and translational research. The Foundation supports scientists at top universities and academic medical centres worldwide conducting the most advanced and promising breast cancer research that will lead to prevention and a cure in our lifetime. A minimum of 85 cents of each dollar donated to the Foundation goes directly to breast cancer research and awareness programs. In October 2007, $32 million was awarded to 151 scientists across the United States and in Canada, Latin America, the Middle East, the UK and Europe.
