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...

No product list. Did I miss it?

[RWebb]

there is a lengthy pdf with tables posted at the bottom of the Abstract page

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

[RWebb]

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

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
