My deodorant has freaking POISON in it!?

the problem with scientific studies is that they need to be funded by someone.

more often than not, there are interested (biased) companies footing the bill, so an untainted study can be hard to carry on.

example: the tobacco lobby, and big Pharma.

don't get me started on the FDA, either.
they want to classify FRUIT JUICE as a DRUG now... yeah, you haven't seen this on the news because they want to SLIP IT UNDER THE RADAR!

Health freedom action alert: FDA attempting to regulate supplements, herbs and juices as "drugs"
by Mike Adams

When it comes to health freedom, this is the FDA's end game. A new FDA "guidance" document, published on the FDA's website, reveals plans to reclassify virtually all vitamins, supplements, herbs and even vegetable juices as FDA-regulated drugs. Massage oils and massage rocks will be classified as "medical devices" and require FDA approval. The document is called Docket No. 2006D-0480. Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA is accepting public comments on the docket until April 30th. They tried to sneak this under the radar, but word got out and now the natural health community is up in arms over this rule. If you wish to protect your access to nutritional supplements, herbs, essential oils, homeopathic medicine or any other "complementary" or "alternative" modality, it is crucial that you take action to post your comments with the FDA right now and write your representatives in Washington to put a stop to this outrageous effort to destroy natural medicine. (And be sure to really write them. Just sending an email has virtually no impact compared to writing a physical letter in your own words.)
