Guest guest Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 [Paranormal_Research] Chemicals Linked to Birth Defects Can Stay in Cosmetics http://www.ewg.org/ Chemicals Linked to Birth Defects Can Stay in Cosmetics, Says Cosmetic Industry Safety Panel Most people are surprised to learn that the government neither conducts nor requires safety testing of chemicals that go into health and beauty products. A panel funded and advised by the cosmetic industry determined that cosmetic companies can continue to add reproductive toxins known as phthalates to cosmetics marketed to women of childbearing age. Phthalates (pronounced THAL-LATES) are linked in animal studies to birth defects of the male reproductive system, including undescended testicles, absent testicles, and a physical defect of the penis known as hypospadias. They are used in a wide range of beauty products including shampoo, hair spray, nail polish, deodorant, and lotion. • EWG Cosmetics Home • Washington Post: Beauty Coverup? • Industry Review Panel: What's wrong with the process? • Do the deodorant, hair gel, and other products you use contain phthalates? • EWG’s list of phthalate-free products §*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§*§ Paranormal_Research - Scientific Data & Health Conspiracies Paranormal_Research Subscribe:...
