Health Issues Regarding EGF Skin Cream

By Iva Cannon


Skincare products commercially available are believed to have benefits on the skin in ways that are almost too impossible to believe. It is true that there had been a lot of positive feedbacks regarding these products based on testimonials. This is largely because of the formulas being put into these products by the manufacturers. The sad truth is that they could also have side effects on the body.

Genetic engineering has been one of the ways in which to acquire biochemicals used for the formulation of such products. One of the genetic engineering techniques used to formulate the EGF skin cream is through transgenic farming. EGF stands for Epidermal Growth factor. Its main function is to increase the ability of the skin to replenish and reconstruct its cells to make the skin look younger.

But scientists have been alarmed at the effects of this new innovation. They fear that the transgenic way of acquiring the ingredients for this formula could contaminate other life forms and will affect agricultural crops. This is possible through pollination.

Some of these dangers include the risk of these genetically engineered plants to be pollinated to natural and wild plants. They can cause harm to these plants and the pollinators as well. This is also very risky to nearest agricultural crops. The biochemicals could cause different long term diseases to both plants, animals, and humans involved in the food chain.

The EGF is a cytokine composed of many cells that communicate with one another. Furthermore, they are growth factors which allow the growth of the epidermis. The name itself implies that it is capable of growing and reconstructing the cellules of the epidermis and the dermis.

Since its primary function is to reconstruct, it is believed to heal wrinkles and make the person look younger and more appealing. Many mistaken this to be an anti aging product but its main function really, is replenishment but it does not totally concentrate on removal of wrinkles. Some products have exaggerated specifications just to be a hit in the market, especially to adult men and women.

The characteristic of the product which is to boost cell growth is a factor that actually disturbs most scientists. This can be a serious threat and can cause cancer. The fact that it proliferates cellules, it can possibly multiply cancer cells as well. Although there is no direct effect, it poses a bigger threat to those who have cancer histories in the family.

If it has the capability to grow a number of different cellules in the body, it can also increase the risks of cancer, although not directly. It is highly recommended to report any sign of derma illness immediately to the dermatologist. Otherwise, you will never know that it is already too late.

The growth factor, which is the strength of the product, could be the weakness of the human body which uses the product. It can grow cancer especially for those who are already susceptible to the disease because of family history. So the best thing to do prior to trying any formulation is to consult the expert.
