Redheads have higher incidence of gynecologic cancers

Posted by aardvark2118 @aardvark2118, Mar 11, 2024

Just read a research article that states natural tedheads have a higher risk of gynecologic cancers related to being exposed to higher levels of estrogen before birth. Prenatal estrogen influences not only the emergence of certain medical conditions but also the development of certain hair colors, particularly red hair. One anthropologist stated there’s a three way relationship between being a woman, having ted hair and having these diseases (gynecological cancers. Any other red heads out there diagnosed with a gynecological cancer?
