Known to the State of California to Cause Cancer

[Guest guest]

On a pound of Ye Jiao Teng I bought recently, there was a sticker saying it

contained substances known to the state of California to cause cancer.

Does anyone know what this is about? Pesticides?

This was explained in the Mayway MAiler that came out this week.It

explained that in California, Proposition 65 is now requiring these

warning labels on all herbs that contain heavy metals above a

specified " safe harbor " level, and the way Mayway explained it, the

threshhold is quite low (1/1000 th of the level known harmful for

pregnant women).

Mayway also mentioned the link www.envirolaw.org which I have not

checked out yet.
