Nail polishes may increase diabetes risk in women, says a news item in The Times of India of July 18, 2012. A study has found that phthalates commonly found in moisturisers, nail polishes, soaps, hair sprays and perfumes are endocrine disrupting chemicals and women with higher levels of phthalates in their urine are more likely to have diabetes.
I then searched the Net with the help of Google search engine and came across many interesting and useful articles, which reveal that phthalates could do harm to human beings in many ways. I am furnishing below links to some of these, which may be of interest to you.
