Yep.
SOMEONE needs to ask him about the '98 WHO study and if it was ALSO included in his, "Report," on SHS.

DON'T LET THE HEADLINES FOOL YOU
Court throws out challenge to EPA findings on secondhand smoke - (December 2002) - The ruling was based on the highly technical grounds that since the EPA didn't actually enact any new regulations (it merely declared ETS to be a carcinogen without actually adopting any new rules), the court had no jurisdiction to rule in the matter.  This court ruling on the EPA report is NOT a stamp of approval for that report. Judge Osteen's criticisms of the EPA report are still completely valid and is accompanied by other experts.

Oak Ridge Labs, TN & SECOND HAND SMOKE 

Statistics and Data Sciences Group Projects

I think any anti who tries to dismiss the findings of the U.S. Department of Energy labs at Oak Ridge, should be confronted with the question: "Are you saying that DOE researchers committed scientific fraud and that their findings on ETS exposure are untrue?"

OH YES, I remember now: It's the newest thing that HAIR DYE is killing women! Common!

CANCER WARNING 

DYED HAIR SCARE

July 5, 2006

BEN WEINBERG and RITA DELFINER

       

Color it risky - tinting or bleaching your hair may put you at higher risk of getting lymphoma, according to a startling new study.
Researchers who analyzed data from six European countries found a 19 percent increased risk of the cancer among those who said they used hair dye.

Those who dyed 12 or more times a year faced a 26 percent increased risk, the study found.

"The increased risk observed among women was similarly observed for any color or type of dye used, increasing slightly for users of longer periods," the study said.

Those who began altering the color of their hair before 1980 showed a 37 percent increased lymphoma risk, the study found.

From 1978 to 1982, the ingredients of some types of dyes were reformulated to eliminate some that were potentially cancer-causing, the researchers said.

They say that it's still not known whether the newer compounds are free of risk and that more monitoring is needed.

Based on their findings, Dr. Silvia de Sanjose and her colleagues at the Catalan Institute of Oncology in Barcelona, Spain, estimate that about 10 percent of lymphomas in women could be due to the use of hair dye.

Several women in Midtown didn't turn a hair yesterday when told about the findings, saying they wouldn't quit highlighting, hiding their gray or coloring their roots.

"I've been dyeing my hair since I was 14," said Christina, 32, a pharmaceutical rep whose brown hair has blond highlights. "I'll let it grow out and do it all over again!"

"Would I stop dyeing? Are you kidding me?" declared a young blonde who wouldn't give her name. "I would keep going. I can't stop. I need to be blonde."

Shannon Maris, 36, a hairdresser visiting from San Diego, said she colors her own hair black - but some of her clients are worried and have gone organic.

"I have clients who started coloring their hair with vegetable dye," she said.

Angela Walsh, 35, a Manhattan event planner, said she dyed her hair dark brown a couple of times, but went back to her natural shade.

"I decided not to use it anymore because I know it's not a good thing," she said. "It's bad for your health."

Laura Rose, 19, a model, sunbathes and likes being a blonde. "I'm probably going to drop dead by the time I'm 30, but at least I'm tan and pretty," she declared defiantly.
