Henna ingredients may cause cancer

Apr 5th 2006 12:27PM I believe that it should have been worded differently. Henna does not cause nor is their any link to cancer. It is misleading to say otherwise.
Some shady people or ignornant people use PPD, a proven carcinogen, on skin art and call it black henna. I could spit on the ground and call it art, but that doesn't menat it is!!
IT is not just used by Indians. It is been used for thousands of years in Africa and the Middle East as well.
I think an article about PPD should be the focus and it's use in many countries (including the US) in hair dye and its link to liver and bladder cancers should be discussed.
In countries such as India, you can buy what is labeled as black henna, but does not even contain henna at all for just pennies to color your hair black. Imagine how many men and women in these countries have died their grey hair black with this horrid substance!
