It's Time to Protect Babies From Dangerous Products
18 Feb 2005
A Scribe Newswire- Chicago
How would mothers react if they discovered that baby products contain
a witch's brew of dangerous ingredients? Hopping mad could be a
reasonable understatement.
Most disturbing are three groups of widely used ingredients known as
"hidden carcinogens" -- ingredients which are contaminated by carcinogens,
or which break down to release carcinogens, or which are precursors of
carcinogens to which infants are about 100 times more sensitive than adults.
The largest group of hidden carcinogens includes dozens of wetting agents or
detergents, particularly PEGs, Laureths, and Ceteareths, all of which are
contaminated with the potent and volatile carcinogens ethylene oxide and
dioxane. These carcinogens could readily be stripped off during ingredient
manufacture, if the industry just made the effort to do so. Another hidden
carcinogenic ingredient is lanolin, derived from sheep's wool, most samples of
which are contaminated with DDT-like pesticides.
The second group includes another detergent, Triethanolamine (TEA) which,
following interaction with nitrite, is a precursor of a highly potent nitrosamine
carcinogen.
The third group includes Quaterniums and Diazolidinyl urea preservatives
which break down in the product or skin to release the carcinogenic
formaldehyde.
Of additional concern is another group of common preservatives, known as
Parabens. Numerous studies over the last decade have shown that these are
weakly estrogenic. They produce abnormal hormonal effects following
application to the skin of infant rodents, particularly male, resulting in
decreased testosterone levels, and urogenital abnormalities. Parabens have
also been found to accumulate in the breasts of women with breast
cancer.
So, why is it that the multi billion-dollar cosmetic and toiletry industry has not
acted on this information? The answer is that the major priority of the
industry's trade association is "to protect the freedom of the industry to
compete in a fair market place." At the same time, the association pursues a
highly aggressive agenda against what it claims are "unreasonable or
unnecessary labeling or warning requirements." As Senator Edward M.
Kennedy (D.MA) stated at 1997 Hearings on the FDA Reform bill: "The
cosmetics industry has borrowed a page from the play book of the
tobacco industry by putting profits ahead of public health."
