European Union Risk Assessments Find No Concern For Current Uses of Three Phthalates
(ContentDesk) May 25, 2006 -- The European Union recently banned the use of a number of phthalates in children's toys (www.phthalates.org/toys-info-sheet.asp), including the most commonly used one, DINP. And the EU also banned the use of DBP and some other phthalates in cosmetics (www.phthalates.org/pcp_info_sheet.asp). The question is: "why?"Not on the basis of any reliable evidence that they pose a threat to humans, the Phthalate Esters Panel has always maintained. And now the EU agrees! For the last ten years, member state scientific institutes have been conducting rigorous risk assessments of the major phthalates under the supervision of the European Chemicals Bureau. Three final reports were published April 13, 2006.

Is Your Body Equipped to Fight the Toxic War
Copyright 2006 Dr. Eileen Silva
Do you realize how much of your body is dedicated to detoxifying? You have a highly developed system that works non-stop to rid your body of unhealthy and damaging toxins. Your liver strains your body's poisons, and your kidneys filter toxins out of your blood. Your skin eliminates waste into the air, and your colon eliminates digestive waste. Your immune system fights both foreign and self-made toxins in blood and cells, and your antioxidants seek and destroy free radicals that damage and age cells.
It's an amazing process, this ongoing detoxification of your body!
Your natural detoxification system is quite adequate for the healthy environment that it was designed to live in. Unfortunately, you don't live in that healthy environment.

Alarming Water News: Drugs…Coming to a Faucet Near You
Denver, CO (ContentDesk) July 5, 2006 As early as 1985 E.P.A. scientists have known that many of the drugs we consume and then excrete in urine and feces are showing up in sewage treatment plants across America.
Herman Bouwer of the U.S. Agricultural Research Service in Phoenix recalls noting that the cholesterol-lowering drug, clofibric acid, turned up in treated sewer water that was replenishing a reservoir supplying water to Phoenix residents.
If clofibric acid can pass through our modern sewage treatment plants, what is to stop the more than 2000 other drugs on the market from entering our drinking water? The dumping of treated sewage into our lakes, streams and oceans is not new.
Most modern cities in the world put their treated effluent back into the natural water system.
All new sewage plants employ the most modern technological systems available but they are not designed to remove any of the over 2000 drugs and chemicals that enter the treatment...

You work hard to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. You know that organic foods can help you avoid ingesting nasty hormones and chemicals but did you know that these toxins are creeping into your system in other ways? Your moisturizers, eye creams, and make up may seem harmless, but check out the labels and you'll find a laundry list of tongue-twisting ingredients, many of which could be hazardous to your health. In a recent survey, conducted by Health, eighty three percent of responding consumers indicated that they would rather use all natural body products. The skin care industry is responding to this demand. The natural and organic skin care product sector has seen a growth of thirty nine percent over the last year.
Some of these products may claim to be all-natural, while still containing a slew of chemicals and toxins. Here's what you need to know about natural skin care and how to determine if the product you are using is free of harmful chemicals.Why Choose Natural...
