"As reported by Danish Institute of Public health studies, a single twenty-four-hour exposure to sodium lauryl sulfate damages skin proteins and causes prolonged disruption of "the skin barrier integrity/' allowing the ready penetration of carcinogens. (28) A related detergent, sodium lauryl sarcosinate, can also react with nitrates to yield a carcinogenic nitrosamine. 3. Hydroxy Acids. See chapter 9 for details. 4. Nanoparticle Ingredients. See chapters 8 and 9 for details." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"This may not sound so hard to do, but it is, because the same law basically prohibits the EPA from mandating health studies from the Chemical Manufacturers Association. In other words, the only safety testing done is by the chemical manufacturers themselves—which many have said is like having the fox guarding the henhouse! In 1990 the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), through the initiative of Dr. John Moore, who served as acting administrator of the EPA, initiated a voluntary testing program for High Production Volume (HPV) chemicals." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"One would think that such a topic might occupy a central concern of modern health studies, but in the United States such is not the case. Dr. Keith Petrie, a professor in the health psychology department at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, has long been fascinated by how patients view modernity — that is, how suspicious they are of modern life. His work centers on "health worry," everything from concerns about cell phones to environmental toxins to genetically modified foods." - Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.)

"His book—a massive tome covering laboratory and public health studies of workplace hazards in several countries, entitled Occupational Tumors and Allied Diseases—brought together epidemiologic and experimental studies from four continents over more than a century to assert that workplace factors were important and controllable causes of cancer and other illness." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) "Shortly before he died, Sir Bradford Hill despaired over the way public health studies were being manipulated in the debate over smoking. Hill saw that the disputes over human evidence on the dangers of smoking or other hazards were being shaped and prolonged by well-paid, industry-supported scientific experts. To put an end to this cultivated and protracted public confusion, he laid down some principles for deciding whether a given exposure can be deemed to cause any specific health condition. Hill knew that of the many variables that affect our health, not all can be measured." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) "Thus has evolved the well-paid skeptic who learnedly insists that experimental and clinical sources of scientific information are not the same as full-blown public health studies of affected people with clearly defined exposures. The absence of sufficient numbers of already harmed people is held up like a cross before a vampire. We are uncertain, goes the argument. We can't be sure whether what we've found in animals really pertains to people. Let's study the problem longer, before we take any action. Let's wait until we have more people to examine." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) "Where large numbers of people develop the same specific ailments, or when smaller groups have encountered similar conditions so that their experiences can be looked at together, that's when public health studies are easier. The deaths of a few animals, while troubling, don't prove that people are endangered. With hindsight, it's hard to grasp why it took so long for people to figure out what was going on. Unlike much of life today, the waste oil poured over Times Beach left small numbers of people with relativelv clear and large exposures." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"However, no such effects have been observed in any scientifically valid public health studies" (OTA, Special Report, F-470, 1991). This industry consultant also had substantial input into a USDA economic study in 1987. Claiming no adverse effects, the study recommended approval of rBGH to help American farmers be competitive in a global market. Also, Bauman's allegation that there are no adverse effects of rBGH on animal welfare was accepted by the White House (1994). Thus, U.S. public policy on rBGH has been misled by the indentured scientific literature." - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., What's In Your Milk?: An Exposé of Industry and Government Cover-Up on the Dangers of the Genetically Engineered (rBGH) Milk You're Drinking (Get the book.) "There are numerous other flaws in the Monsanto health studies. Each of these misrepresentations and falsifications always served to negate any conclusions of adverse health effects from dioxins. A careful audit of these studies by EPA's epidemiological scientists should be obtained as part of your investigation. The false conclusions contained in the Monsanto studies have been refuted by the findings of a recent study by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). This NIOSH study, recently circulated by Dr." - Samuel S.

"Cate Jenkins, of the Regulatory Development Branch of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), on "Criminal Investigation of Monsanto Corporation—Cover-up of Dioxin Contamination in Products—Falsification of Dioxin health studies," to John West and Kevin Guarino, Special Agent Office of Criminal Investigations, EPA. As per our meeting yesterday, I am summarizing information available to me supporting allegations of a long pattern of fraud by Monsanto Corporation. The fraud concerns 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (dioxin) contamination of Monsanto's dioxin-exposed workers." - Samuel S.

"Pfizer's localized marketing approach to the cardiovascular segment, she said, was having tremendous success with things like a recent "Heart Party," held in Boston just after a slew of high-profile cardiovascular and women's health studies were released. It was a logic and emotion party. Public relations had to change as well." - Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.)

"In college, Lisa delved into environmental health studies, women's studies and social justice issues, learning all she could. "I realized it's all connected. We look at these issues as though they are separate, but they're all connected," Lisa said. That day at the March for Women's Lives, behind the ten-foot-long banner emblazoned with the words "Because We're Worth It!" Lisa was marching for everything she cared about, alongside a million other advocates for women's rights. Removing toxic chemicals from personal care products is "a battle of fertility too," she explained. " - Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (Get the book.) "Occupational health studies show decreased attention and processing skills as well as increased asthma in nail salon workers compared to women who don't work in salons. Women of childbearing age are particularly vulnerable due to the greater risk of chemical exposures to developing babies. A survey of nail technicians in Boston found considerable awareness among the workers that their occupation was affecting their health. A majority of the workers surveyed reported odors at work that made them feel bad, and they associated these odors with acrylic nail glues." - Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (Get the book.) "More environmental health studies are urgently needed. Only 4% of the $9 billion dedicated to nanotechnology research in 2006 went to environmental and health research. "What we're left with are early studies that raise warning flags and no follow-up," Kimbrell said. "We need a real regulatory framework that protects public health and the environment." - Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (Get the book.)

As you know, 1 have passed on your report to FDA for their review and comment. While the FDA overall review process is still underway, I have decided not to place industry research and justifications in the Congressional Record." - Samuel S.

"HEALTH BENEFITS Cloves contain significant amounts of an active component called eugenol, which has made them the subject of numerous health studies, including studies showing benefit for the prevention of toxicity from environmental pollutants, such as carbon tetrachloride; prevention of digestive tract cancers; and treatment of joint inflammation." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"He works in the Center for health studies at Group Health Cooperative in Seattle, where he also has a faculty appointment at the University of Washington. As a research fellow, Simon began to study multiple chemical sensitivity—in part, because an outbreak had recently occurred at a local Boeing airplane factory. Multiple chemical sensitivity has "symptoms all over the map," according to Cynthia Wilson, director of a Montana-based Chemical Injury Information Network. "Getting flulike symptoms that don't go away may be the hallmark feature," she told reporters." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L.

"It was reported in 1993, that the FDA, without conducting rigorous long-term health studies or pre-market safety testing, decided that treated GE and rBGH products were safe. The FDA does not even require the industry to reveal the source of their implanted genes.38 In addition, the FDA did not require the usual 24 months of testing on large numbers of rats before rBGH was allowed to be released. Why not? Why was the raw data of the Monsanto study using only a few rats for three months never been made available for an impartial critique by American scientists outside the FDA?" - Doris J.
