Ladies, have you been smearing "cancer-causing" goo on your lips your entire adult life without knowing it? That's the central claim in an email alert circulating since 2003 which lists several name-brand lipsticks that supposedly contain health-threatening amounts of lead. Did you know you can detect lead in your lipstick by scratching it with a gold ring? Or so they say...

Just received an email warning me about lead in lipstick. The email said to rub lipstick on your hand. Rub the lipstick with a gold ring. If the lipstick turns black, then there is lead in the lipstick. Mine turned BLACK. Is there a group law suit in the making?
Sincerely.
it is a hoax
*sighs*
I’m going to list credible links right here to prove once and for all that the silly chainmail is just to make people freaked out.

Have a blood test and it will tell you if you have lead in your system, or you can have hair analysis sent to a testing lab,you can tell what toxins have accumulated in the body tissue and they inform you what vitamins and minerals depleted.
