On the Association between Glycolic Acid and Cancer
In recent years, the association between glycolic acid and cancer has attracted much attention. Glycolic acid is common in many daily necessities and pharmaceuticals. Everyone suspected that it may be the cause of cancer.

Researchers have investigated the properties of glycolic acid in detail. Glycolic acid is mild and is often used for skin rejuvenation. It can exfoliate old and waste keratin and promote skin rejuvenation. However, in this process, whether it will cause cell abnormalities and cause carcinogenesis is the key.

Examine various studies in detail. Some experiments use animals as samples to observe the effect of long-term exposure to glycolic acid. However, the results vary. It has been shown that long-term high-dose exposure to glycolic acid may show signs of abnormal changes in cells in animals, which seem to be related to the occurrence of cancer; however, there are also studies indicating that under normal use doses, there is no obvious risk of carcinogenesis.

Looking at human studies, due to the complexity of human conditions and the difficulty of controlling a single variable, there is little direct evidence. It is based more on in vitro cell experiments and animal experiments. Although glycolic acid is known to affect cell metabolism, it is still uncertain whether this effect will cause cancer.

To sum up, as far as is known, the relationship between glycolic acid and cancer is unknown. Although some studies have emerged, more in-depth and comprehensive research is needed to confirm it. In daily and medical use, it is still necessary to be cautious to ensure the well-being of users.
