I believe it.

Nope. I'm in denial. I want to keep up with the white folk standard of beauty and relax until I get brain cancer.

Too many variables and hearsay. Where are the studies and empirical data? She was in the military. Could she have been exposed to something? What's her medical history? Whay relaxer did she use? How often did she relax? How long did she process?

ETA: I usually don't respond to these click bait threads, but I'm getting old and don't care.

First off it’s Fox News. They’re notorious for making “fake news”. Or very misguided news, or plain old attention grabbing nonsense.

Second off

Where are the studies and empirical data? She was in the military. Could she have been exposed to something? What's her medical history?

Exactly what Sunnie said.

Any synthetic chemical exposure can contribute to cancer... the same goes with too much of an organic chemical exposure. We don't know what causes cancer, that's the problem. So I wouldn't say that it couldn't have caused her cancer, but there is a ridiculously long list of what could have as well.

Most of yall grandmothers , mothers, aunt, cousins, and yourself have had relaxers for decades. Yet none of you know of anyone that has gotten brain cancer . This is silly.

Yeah. I feel like at this point we would all know at least one black woman with brain cancer.

Stories like this are just to scare Black Women into going natural.

I only know one BW that has brain cancer. But she’s a little older than me and had been natural for a decade...
