A member asked:
Are damages to heart caused by the daily use of polysorbate 80 for many years(present in lotion for hair)irreversible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Polysorbate 80 is not an agent commonly known to affect heart muscle. If you have heart damage, I would assure other reasons have thoroughly been evaluated before considering polysorbate 80 as a cause.
