Common Consumer Products Contain Hidden Toxic Chemicals
 
Environmental Health Perspectives: Endocrine Disruptors and Asthma-Associated Chemicals in Consumer Products

I expect there will be plenty of news articles soon if you don't want to slog thru this...

BTW - don't expect that high priced "green" Seventh Generation stuff to be ok...

Where is the perspective? Are these products responsible for 0.1% of the safe allowable exposure or 1000%?

RWebb 03-09-2012 01:55 PM

for that answer, you will need to review the toxicological literature

but it's pretty clear that the wise men will avoid exposure to things that feminize them

Coke and Pepsi alter recipe to avoid cancer warning

"Coca-Cola and Pepsi are changing the recipes for their drinks to avoid being legally obliged to put a cancer warning label on the bottle.

The new recipe for caramel colouring in the drinks has less 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) - a chemical which California has added to its list of carcinogens.

The change to the recipe has already been introduced in California but will be rolled out across the US.

Coca-Cola says there is no health risk to justify the change." BBC 9 March 2012
