Mobile phones 'more dangerous than smoking'
'Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation. The study, by Dr Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published of the health risks.'

Victoria's Secret bra blamed for woman's rash; formaldehyde suspected
She said her skin began to itch after she wore the bras for a few days. The itch turned into a rash, and the rash developed into ugly red painful welts that were hot to the touch, she said.
"I flipped out," Ritter said. "I knew it had to be the bra. I had perfectly shaped burns where the cups were." Only then did she notice that her old reliable bras were made in India, but her new bras bore tags "Made in China."

ADHD drug linked to suicide attempts: Health Canada

Some nice links there. Thanks for posting them .

Diabetes, as with many other ailments, has been shown to be caused by a low quality of life and consumption of chemical-laden foods (that includes the non-boxed ones) as well as the huge doses of sugar that are included in virtually all non-organic foods.
If you think regulations on chemical waste in water is necessary for public safety, then regulating the contents of food is just as necessary.
Risus
Just one question: how can you make such a supremely dumb-ass statement as "all these so called experts are full of crap" and follow it with the supremely wise statement, "moderation is the answer" all in the same post? I mean, I've heard of the duality of man but WTF!?

So you think that the government would be wrong to pull a product that is potentially harmful to people because it forces diabetics to give up sweet-tasting foods? (And that’s assuming there are no safe alternatives.)
I don't think the gov would be right to pull aspartame when there are so many people who benefit from it because of their diabetes.

Personally, I can't handle the taste of aspartame. I prefer sugar: not much of it but I like it better; and preferably demerara sugar.
BTW, I have a friend who is a food scientist and he says aspartame is harmless. So I spose its like a lot of other things, scientists differ in opinions.

See comment below about expensive medical care not necessarily being any good. This story is a repeat of what my wife and I went through regarding years of severe joint pain she suffered. The orthodox medical industry, totally focused on selling patients new products, totally missed that the solution was simply to take something away; in this case formaldehyde. My wife suffered through 8 years of crippling pain before we ourselves figured out the cause using internet resources (many of them publicly decried as "dangerous" by that same medical establishment that utterly failed to detect the problem in the first place).

Poison kiss: lead alert
The blood-red Dior lipstick, sold at beauty counters across Australia, was among dozens of lipsticks found to contain lead, after US lobby group Campaign for Safe Cosmetics commissioned an independent laboratory to test lead levels in 33 brand-name lipsticks. The results, made public in a report last October, revealed 61percent of the lipsticks tested had detectable lead levels. One-third of the lipsticks exceeded the US Food and Drug Administration's accepted level of lead (0.1 parts per million) for products that are ingested. The Dior lipstick was found to contain 0.21ppm of lead.

Chemicals in beauty products have never been intelligently regulated, because they were alleged by the industry lobbyists as being used solely on the exterior of the body.
However, here's an experiment: rub garlic on your foot, and wait to see how long before you can actually taste it.
If you use cosmetics at all, please do your best to know what's in them, because what you don't know can really make you ill if you have any chemical sensitivity whatsoever.
We went through a really traumatic half-decade when my wife had horrendous joint pain that the doctors couldn't diagnose.
Ultimately, through a lot of research on the web, we found out that she is highly allergic to what are called "formaldehyde precursors", which are present in many scented soaps and detergents, and definitely in cosmetics.
We cleaned out the bathroom and kitchen cabinets of any products using these chemicals.
Within 24 hours, she was able to walk without pain, as miraculous as that sounds.
Unfortunately, we have yet to find a medically peer-reviewed study of the damage these chemicals can cause. That, however, would be a boon to both patients and their doctors.

Fluoridated water now reaches nearly 70% of U.S. population
'Nearly 70 percent of U.S. residents who get water from community water systems now receive fluoridated water, according to a report published Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The proportion of the U.S. population receiving fluoridated water, about 184 million people, increased from 65.8 percent in 1992 to 69.2 percent in 2006, said the report.'

Epilepsy study incriminates Aspartame in medications
'The Pacific Epilepsy Society in affiliation with the Epileptic Foundation of Maui has completed a seven year study on Epilepsy and Seizures, finding that epilepsy is at an all time high in Hawaii and the western states and Pacific Ocean Territories. There has been a 100% increase over the two previous years. See EFM Survey, Freedom of Info Act 2000-2008 & EFM Survey 1999-03
The most profound reason for the spectacular increase in seizures is the inclusion of the drug ASPARTAME in with the new larger sized anti-seizure drugs: DILANTIN, DEPACOAT, TEGRATOL and several others produced by major pharmaceutical corporations.'

Fresh scent may hide toxic secret
The scented fabric sheet makes your shirts and socks smell flowery fresh and clean. That plug-in air freshener fills your home with inviting fragrances of apple and cinnamon or a country garden. But those common household items are potentially exposing your family and friends to dangerous chemicals, a University of Washington study has found.

The problem is simple. These chemicals are legally considered "external" even though you breath them into your lungs, sinuses and potentially absorb them through your skin. Because they are legally "external" companies are free from legal requirements to list all ingredients or to test the chemicals for toxicity. There are some 400 different artificial scent chemicals, of which less than 50 have actually been tested for toxic effects on humans.

Aren't you against the Codex describing every chemical compound from vitamins to elements being listed as a poison if high enough doses are bad for you?
"poison" is an misused label. Overdosing on anything is poisonous.
The liquer I drink at parties is far more a poison than Aspartame but screw you if you think it should be banned.
Water overdosing recently caused brain damage in england on a detox diet. (Search BBC)
Aspartame is not unusually dangerous. Consume similar levels of other common food items and see how your health fares.
