Does Hyaluronic Acid cause Cancer?! What does the Evidence say?

- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Today I'm giving my thoughts on the video created by @10YearsYoungerthis video was highlighted to me by a couple of subscribers to question the information on Hyaluronic Acid and its possible connection to cancer.
This study states:
The challenging characteristic of conventional HAs in the use of topically applied anti-aging preparations has been that its molecules are 3,000nm in diameter, whereas the intercellular space is only 15 to 50nm and just 6 to lOnm at the hyaline membrane.1 This makes it impossible for conventionally produced HA to penetrate into deep layers of the dermis.2

This is the video I mentioned about why HA doesn't work in skincare longterm:

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. You are considered, fact based and articulate. The problem I have with HA is that it doesn’t work! I think it’s been the Emperor’s New Clothes of skin care marketing. I stopped using it ages ago and my skin is now LESS dry! You are looking as well as I’ve ever seen you. Keep up the great work! ♥️😀♥️
Aww thanks so much Lesley, thats so kind of you to say! Yep I agree, doesn't work! x
Have to agree and it seems to break me out more. Back to jojoba oil and can finally say my skin feels great again.
It took 7months to heal my skin from using Hyaluronic Acid. I've very sensitive skin, fair with green eyes. Never wear foundation. It was awful.
Thanks for making this video, Karen! As someone who has been taking HA supplements for a while, for me, the concern over this information coming to light was not use of topical HA, but ingested HA.
Having had a cursory look, it appears that both within skincare and supplementation, it is low-molecular weight HA that is problematic (pro-inflammatory, pro-scar forming, and promoting of tumour growth). Conversely, high weight molecular HA seems to be anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer (naked mole rats are often referenced as being cancer-resistant due to high levels of HA in their bodies - it is high molecular weight HA).
It turns out the supplement I have been taking for about a year for anti-ageing benefits is actually low weight HA (which is often promoted as superior due to being absorbable by the gut). However, on the basis of the info around on low-weight HA, I don't like the idea of putting a pro-inflammatory substance into my body as that is not going to do me any good at all whatsoever. Although a direct link is yet to be found between taking HA supplements and cancer, it doesn't mean one won't be found down the road. As yet, this may not even have been studied. As both my mother and her mother suffered from breast cancer and both later died of pancreatic cancer, I like to exercise extra caution around anything that has the potential to increase risk. As a result, I will now discontinue use of the LOW molecular weight HA supplement I was taking (it was a 600mg capsule too, so an especially high dose!). I may decide to switch to HIGH weight HA supplements if research supports this. Or I may just stay away from them altogether. Thank you for offering us your insights on this topic 😊.

I just came across another RUclipsr who made a video about hyaluronic fillers causing cancer! So interesting to hear your take as well
Karen, you are definitely in your element in this video! Glad I ran into your video first, as I do occasionally watch the other youtuber. I definitely would have been concerned and started doing some research on my own... but I would never have been able to understand the actual papers and conclude whether their research methods and number of test subjects are valid in the same way that you do. I appreciate your eloquence and graciousness in sharing your expertise. Ciao from Italy! L P.S. I take a HA supplement daily. I started for aesthetic reasons (and it has delivered in lessening my naso-labial folds) but it also contributes to making my achy knee disappear and managing my hiatal hernia-caused acid reflux (I take it with little water in the morning in so I can do my workouts and bend over without tasting my breakfast a second time).
Ciao Laura :-)
Thanks for enlightenig this subject; very interesting! 👍 I’ve never heard of Hyaluronic acid causing cancer or being dangerous in any ways, and I’m very happy you debunked so thoroughly! 😘
I got sick after using this for years. My ob see tusse growing right breast but no cancer. Last two yeaes.
Thank you for taking the time to make a video on this topic. I appreciate that you showed and discussed the articles and research papers, and how you came to your conclusion.
Great video. Old school mrs gingers beauty content. So here for it. We all want those headaches to go away so you can get back to deep dive research. Love your content. All the best.
Aww thanks so much, I'll get there! x
Love theses sorts of videos that you do, your makeup looks lovely
A very clear, concise and logical review of the data that is available.
I did watch his video and found myself constantly pausing the video to double-check Google.
Ironically my supplementation of High Molecular Weight (HMW) Hyaluronic Acid is to prevent cancer and is because of the scientific studies carried out by Dr. Vera Gorbunova.
Many thanks for taking the time to make this video and helping to play down the false panic that this type of video causes.
I'm so glad you followed up on this. I hope it was me that totold you. Of everyone i follow i trust you to investigate. I couldn't find anything myself, related to topical. I use a few items Thankyou Karen ☺ xxxx 🐕 🐾🐾🐾❤❤❤
Yes you were one of the people that told me Angela :0) x
@@TheBeautyMaverick So grateful 🙏 xxx
So good to see you in your element with this video Karen. These are absolutely one of my favourite type of video to watch from you as you are always so thorough, easy to understand and concise with your research. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Hopefully, you will be able to get back to doing what you love soon. You look great, the blush and lipstick really suit you.
Thank you for such a well explained video on this topic… as you say, there is so much conflicting info online, and info that isn’t always clear to the every day reader with no background in medical research etc…. It’s great to have your conclusion based on the actual studies….and like others have said, you’re looking really great kaz! Xxxxxxx
My question is how much they paid you to defenced this company?
Great video, you can tell you were involved with medical research, good clear explanation
Very interesting Karen, I’d never heard that it causes cancer so I’m glad to hear that it doesn’t. 😊
A great video, HA doesn't cause cancer.
If anything you are too kind! Anti-science disinformation like this is a plague which we need to be ever vigilant about. Thanks for doing your bit. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
Couldn't agree more!
Hi Karen - Thank you for your video on such a relevant topic. I think you are very clever and so eloquent. I enjoy your videos so much - your voice is calming and you sound so honest and kind. Lots of love ❤️
What a clear and informed video. Thank you.
Love to listen to your easy to understand explanations, as well as your lovely accent! I wish you would do more of these medical type videos as you seem to be very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject!!
Thanks Betty! That's always my plan and that was what my channel was based around. Its just that my migraines mean I can't research and write my notes as much as I used to but I hope to get back to it! x
Thank you for making this video this makes you feel a lot better.
HA is not an issue with external skin care, but it could be when taken internally as a supplement. Further studies are currently being conducted on the possible connection to cancer. I don't think we need to put our heads in the sand on this one. The dynamics are there, in how tumor cells eat up HA like sugar. Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk. Pancreatic cancer is a killer.
I had not heard of this. I appreciate your expertise on the matter. Thank you Karen. Very interesting.
Thank you for this concise presentation of the research.
Another great video Karen, thank you.💖
Thank you for this video..your the best 🌺
Aww thanks, right back at ya! x
I took 100mg to 200mg pill every day for 30 days ...and I'm a bit afraid of it's consequences and side effects after watching this 😢
I was recently diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus to my surprise. I don't smoke, I was a very light social drinker ( I could go months without a drink), I rarely had symptoms of heartburn. I'm told this is regarded as a precancerous condition. I have to have an endoscopy yearly now. I started taking Hyaluronic acid orally a few weeks ago because I saw it was on Bryan Johnson's supplement protocol. ( he is the multi-millionaire working with a team of doctors to reverse his age. Hyaluronic Acid is supposed to help the condition of your skin and I also read it can relieve acid reflux ( the apparent cause of Barrett's). My father passed from esophageal cancer. I stopped taking this supplement because I just didn't want to take any chances. I was also taking this supplement to possibly help with my joints as I train in Martial Arts and I'm getting up there in years. Soon to be 58. I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Thank you for this video.
Some evidence now emerging that the covid vaccine may be a cause of multiple health concerns- even cancer.
Fact no fiction here! Thanks a lot🙏
I don’t know why but we are increasingly more inclined to believe anything we watch without question just because we don’t have time to look into the actual evidence. Especially the lay person with no medical/research background. This video really highlights how I shouldn’t believe things blindly and was very well done so thank you Karen.
Exactly Rosy, I was discussing this very thing with my husband! x
Thanks seems w your background you are well equipped to interpret the data. Thank u
Hi Karen another case of fear mongering due to not understanding the science. The Dr mentioned has a skincare line and I wonder how much of the original statement was about marketing? Topical HA is a humectant sitting on top of the skin drawing water. Even the smaller low molecular weight stuff isn't penetrating that far into the skin. It's not an ingredient that suits my extremely dry, rosacea and eczema prone skin and I try to severely limit the amount used. Living in Scotland we normally don't have enough humidity in the air for it to function as designed (drawing moisture from the environment) and it does dry my skin out, causing irritation in large amounts/multiple layers. The salt form mostly used in skincare sits in the top layer of the skin, so how could it get near the pancreas? I think those on social media have a certain responsibility for fact checking before perpetuating myths and bad science though. I understand your reluctance to say negative things about other content creators, but I still think they should be called out for this type of rubbish and fear mongering. Do I wish the skincare market would move on from their obsession with HA? - yes of course I do, but not due to fear mongering and really bad science. Something similar happened not that long ago with spf, which is even more irresponsible as spf is a proven cancer preventative (for skin cancer obviously). i hadn't heard of this before and hope it dies down quickly. Best wishes.
Thank you for a brilliant well researched and informative video.
Love this so informative xxx🦮🐾🐾❤❤❤
Thank you for explaining this so well you are very articulate I have watch his Video and I think he is scaremongering
As someone else said you are looking very well especially after Covid and kitchen saga! Your eyes look great have you false lashes xx
Thanks so much Sandra - yep, I have false lashes on :0) x
He seems to have had HA fillers though? If you were suspicious, surely injecting it worse than topical!
never seen you look so good karen , gorgeous. Not watched this all the way through yet but hyaluronic acid?? Nooooo, say it isnt so xx
Aww thanks! No, it isn't so lol, its fine to use, no risk, In my opinion! That is to say, there is currently no research to show any issues at all. All that said, it doesn't really work lol. x
So I can drink the bone broth again.
I love HA for skin care, but i also ingest it in a capsule too, not sure if i should be worried or not. x
There isn't currently any evidence to suggest you should be worried at all, but that doesn't mean there won't be in the future. That's the case with everything we eat breathe and touch though, so it depends how cautious you are. The worst case scenario is that if you ever have cancer and don't know about it, particularly pancreatic, a supplement with HA may be food that increases growth but as I say, there is nothing to show that as of today. x
It’s important to know that Google is not like a Newspaper, everyone does NOT get the same results. You get results based on your previous searches
Great video!!!!
Interesting info i recently started taking HA supplement for my arthritic hips. I dont know if the dupplement is high or low weight HA. I will try to find out.
Anyway, I think I'm out of love with hyaluronic acid for beautiful skin. X
Are you talking about injectibles, as in Hyaluronic Acid vs. topically?!? 💉 Also, the body produces Hyaluronic Acid. --- EDIT: Yes, she was talking about injecting it ✅
Thank you Karen!
Great video - thank you! What about HA in supplements? Not typical, but supplements.
Very interesting video, thanks
Hi Karen 🌸 yeah that couldn’t have been easy,although I just don’t trust a lot of stuff now.My eyes have been open to greedy Pharma.I haven’t used hyaluronic acid for years except like you say in lactic acid.I just know the more I use the worse my skin is,so I got some tret & use moisturiser plus a bit of lactic acid every few weeks. I also have that acid peel you use from platinum skin care ,that will last me a long time & enjoyed the tingling lol.👍🏻
Am I right in assuming that it doesn't cause it when say applied to healthy skin. In the presence of for example a melanoma, it can protect it and even encourage the spreading of it? As it binds to CD44? So OK to use on already healthy skin but not really a wise idea to apply to cancerous skin?
Having not looked specifically into this, I would agree with you yes. x
Very informative! Thank you for breaking it down!!! 😊 I have been looking for a line of facial beauty products/moisturizer, etc. that DO NOT have HA (I don’t think my skin needs it) Can you recommend a brand that does not have HA in their products? Thank you!!
Thanks so much Joanne ☺️ I don't know of a specific brand that avoids HA I'm afraid, it seems to be in everything nowadays. I'd say it's more about individual products and just checking the ingredients. That said, I don't like HA on my skin as it doesn't do much for it and sometimes makes it even drier, but I don't mind if there is a little bit in it. For example, you'll see in an upcoming haul I use this product - tidd.ly/3IazuA9 - it has HA in it but not much and it's fine. Hope that helps. x
Thank you again! Be blessed!
Thanks for that! There really needs to be more clarification of the different forms of HA. So misleading
well, thats a new one...maybe they should actually read those articles not just the titles lol
Hello I enjoy your videos! Thank you and love your honesty! Have you heard of the k beauty skincare line called numbuzin? I heard is great, will you do a review on it? Thank you! Have a blessed day ❤
I just looked them up and they are cruelty free but not easily available in the UK - I will add them to my list of recommended brands and review if I run out of UK based ones! x
@@TheBeautyMaverick your awesome! That’s why I love you ! ❤️
Do many on here use Retinol? Just interested as I hear nothing but good about it.
I use Retin-A. I had a very hard time acclimating my skin to it, very dry and scaly. I am very fair, American of Irish descent. Oddly, I found using the omnilux red light mask has allowed me to use Retin A without a problem. Because honestly I tried to use the RetinA on and off for 3 years. Don’t think it necessarily it’s Omnilux probably could be any red light. Just thought I’d share in case it’s helpful / useful to anyone.
I do think it’s worth using, it’s got the most science behind it.
I would like to know if there is any connection between tretinoin and worsening eyesight, I know you don't use retin A anymore but would love to know that as the season for tretinoin i coming back soon.

What about Hyalauronic Acid Supplements causing Cancer?
I talk briefly about supplements in the video as one of the studies mentioned that if you have a history of cancer, you should probably avoid them. There is currently no evidence linking supplements with cancer as like I mentioned, its the HA created by the body that is causing the issue. However, no evidence doesn't mean its not possible but it also means anything we use or ingest could cause any number of things. It depends on how cautious you want to be. Being super cautious would mean avoiding HA supplements. x
Thank you so much for answering my ?
What about supplements?
I talk about that in the video, that the evidence is talking about supplements. x
What about halleronic acid supplements that you can take orally..
I mentioned them in the video as there is one study that states if you have a history of cancer you may want to avoid them. It depends how cautious you want to be. There is currently no evidence to link supplements to cancer, as its the HA produced by the body that is the issue. No evidence doesn't mean there is no link, it's just means there is no evidence. There are so many things we put on and in our bodies that could cause issues. I guess it depends how much benefit you get from taking supplements. x
I drink a Collegen mix every morning that contains HA! Do you know how to send a email to the woman who is in this video??
Thanks Karen the voice of reason, I shared that video about H A from Dr Shereene to CurrentBody forum back in June I had stopped using it long before I prefer The Ordinary Marine Serum and i have recently purchased Beta-Glucan serum and moisturiser which is reputed to be more effective, fingers crossed, it seems the you tuber might be looking for lots of clicks he has certainly caused a debate, but I do abhor this type of scare mongering by people with no qualifications who make inane announcements, well done to you for putting it all into perspective :) xx
I've bought the Beta Glucan serum too and was thinking about a video on it :0) Thanks so much Jenny. x
Actually, therr has never been a skin cancer except massive amojnts of Hyaluronic acid accompanied it.
It does some awkward signalling to skin cells on receptor CD44 which somehow, cuases them to go mad and divide in a cancerous way.
Dr Abs is extrmely knowledgable on all dermal cellular matters. It would be great if u made a video with him.
Thanks Karen, your not mean your well informed and inform others correctly, x
