A survey of 608 Connecticut women with breast cancer and 609 women who were free of the disease, was carried out under the auspices of Yale School of Public Health with collaboration from the European Institute of Oncology in Italy, McGill University in Canada, and the US National Cancer Institute. This weighty team of international medics found no evidence that those who used hair dyes of either the temporary or permanent kind were in any way increasing their risk of having breast cancer, and they published their results in the European Journal of Cancer in August 2002. In 2003 another study was undertaken by the world-famous Karolinska Institute of Sweden and specifically looked at the incidence of all types of cancer in Swedish hairdressers, the group that was expected to be most at risk.
