"We have no idea what these chemicals do when they are mixed together, the effect could be much greater than the sum of the individual parts." Mr Bence, an advocate of organic beauty products, believes that absorbing chemicals through the skin in more dangerous than swallowing them.

He said: "If lipstick gets into your mouth it is broken down by the enzymes in saliva and in the stomach. But chemicals get straight into your bloodstream, there is no protection."

Warnings over using out-of-date lipstick and mascara have also been issued by the Royal College of Optometrists which believes such items are a "hothouse" for harmful bacteria.

Clio Turton, of the Soil Association, said: "Many women are using over

We come into contact with so many chemicals everyday. We drink Flouride (which is used as rat poison), Chlorine, we take pills in various combinations and who knows what these things are doing for us. I understand that a baby drinking soy milk formula is being given the equivalent of 5 birth control pills a day, from the s\estrogen-like compounds. No wonder sperm and testosterone counts are dropping all over the world. Here is a link to some soy research--

Keep your babies away from soy!!!

I’m a firm believer that Aluminum Chlorohydrate is responsible for breast cancer.

Utter nonsense.

That’s 7 cubic centimeters (assuming aqueous density) of absorbed makeup per day, which is far less than is applied (unless you count skin lotion and shampoo, which are mostly water.)

Some people will believe anything!

Infants also shouldn’t be having any wheat either, it ranks at #2 for phyto-estrogen content right behind soy. It also has a ton of opioids soy doesn’t have.

Rosie O’Donnell must wear a heck of a lot of makeup.

Ive seen some women that wear upwards of 5 lbs of makeup on a friday night.

This will be the excuse of every ugly lib in the USA, to stay away from bathing.

Personally, I’d rather die young and look good!

Sixteen year old teenage girls pile it on like the food that’s absent from their plate.

You know, if Rudy walked down the street like that, I would never guess that was a man. You can’t say that about a lot of cross-dressers. Ouch.

That's exactly why there are those who will keep saying anything. Made-up "facts" are eagerly slurped up. The more shocking, the better.

Hogwash. If it were that dangerous, Tammy Fae Bakker and Jan Crouch would have died years ago.

[texas_mrs]

That is crazy. I have seen women that look like their makeup is applied with a trowel, but I doubt all the makeup I use in a year even weighs HALF a pound. Everything I own now doesn’t weigh a pound, containers included.
