| The
Ugly Side of Pretty
By Rebecca Ephraim, Dragonfly Media
Emerging science suggests that untold numbers of cosmetics
and personal care ingredients may be silently and insidiously
promoting cancer, ravaging women's reproductive functions
and causing birth defects. |

Showering
Increases THM's in Women
By healthyhome.com
A group of scientists from the U.S. EPA and the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that the
levels of trihalomethanes (THMs), a group of chemicals that
have been linked to cancers and reproductive problems, in
women's blood rises significantly after they shower. The
research clarifies the connection between the levels of
THM, which is formed as a byproduct of disinfecting drinking
water with chlorine and regularly measured by drinking water
utilities, and the THM levels in the blood of people exposed
to that water through showering (or drinking it). |

Body
of Evidence: Contaminated Californians
New Tests Reveal that our Bloodstreams May Be as Polluted
as our RiversNew by Peter Warshall
The human body has evolved a great wisdom, refining, over
five million years, its ability to fight viruses, bacteria
and parasites. Only recently, in the last 50 years, has
the human body been forced to deal with a tsunami of new
enemies — a deluge of modern synthetic chemical molecules.
The dosages, cocktails, and shapes of these new molecules
can confuse the development and workings of the body’s
immune, reproductive, nerve, brain and other tissue systems.
