I am not someone that has a grandchild with Max Absorb next to her skin either, okay?
Baby Gwen in our family has all natural everything. including her diapers which are cloth. So, let's start there.
The Chemical Industry, including the petroleum industry is an influence in life that simply lacks legitimacy on all fronts, including trustworthiness. However, there are ways of thinking about this that are helpful.

Feds investigate baby bottom complaints

We can start with the fact that the American Chemical Society has been archiving chemicals, their characteristics, including harmful properties for a very, very long time. The Bush White House could never harm the information in the American Chemical Society (ACS) archives. It is far too extensive and exists 'in fact' of the properties of chemicals, otherwise, the world would have blown itself up by now.
So, let's start with 'the authority' that is reliable in discerning where best to 'learn' what is real about any chemical and its compounds and where it isn't real.
This statement is going to send the Right Wing in the USA right over the edge, but, ask me if I give a damn. There was an approach to this issue some time ago that gave rise to legislation THAT WAS HELPFUL. It is a book called "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson.

It is a remarkable book. I have a copy. It was written by a woman that died of breast cancer two years after it was published. Carson was a marine biologist. She was brilliant and as a career woman in the 1950s she knew where her strength lay and that was in writing. She had written something like four books or so before she wrote Silent Spring. The Hardcover of that book from 1962 is her original content.
That said, there is validity to the claims that came out regarding chemicals in the environment and I will not come away from that statement. This point of view is void of political ideology. Like I said, chemicals are chemicals and their properties are carved in STONE. That can't be changed.
The eight years of the Bush/ Cheney White House are scandalous regarding the CARELESS METHODOLOGY regarding chemicals used in society INCLUDING arsenic. I mean the FIRST DAY of office in 2001 Bush signed an order to increase the levels of arsenic in water supplies. Like what the hell was that? I suppose EVERY OTHER AUTHORITY before the little tin gods that took over were illegitimate. I DON'T THINK SO. Bush/Cheney were no Einsteins.
So, there is no way I will state this report is not prudent. I will say this; it is about time. HOWEVER, there are ways of doing this that makes sense and a run on Proctor and Gamble stocks is not one of them. I believe the 'pit bosses' at the Exchange did a great job.
There is another authority that needs to be recognized and that is the FDA. It was razed of its authority, save some whistle blowers, for the eight years of Republican idiocy from 2001 - 2009, but, it has solid footing in OLD METHODOLOGIES that work. IN THAT, is an understanding that Proctor and Gamble PRODUCTS are tried and true and where there might be issues with cancer causing chemicals, the FDA would have found any and all evidence by this point.
The most LEGITIMATE methods of determining the effects of any chemicals lies in an OLD METHODOLOGY called LD50s. It has been in existence since the American Chemical Society began and its methodology is as solid as the day is long. I would say EVERY chemical ever archived by ACS has LD50 studies. I doubt there exists any chemical on Earth that does not have an LD50 study.
With that we need to reinstate the safeguards that were abandoned during the Bush/Cheney years and simply GO BACK to what works and is known to work in protecting human health. The Bush/Cheney administration was a desperate attempt to excoriate all regulations from the American lifestyle to illegitimately garner profits WITH abandon and WITHOUT the RESPECT for life outside of the Oval Office and the Map Room.
Dear God, they were horrible and that is putting it mildly.
The oncologists can also stop using chemicals that were never supposed to be used on any human body in the name of saving lives from cancer. The practices that were allowed regarding cancer treatment under that administration in the USA were unbelievably hideous and Medieval. So, the idea that JUST examining chemicals in the environment as a method to improving longevity is the only focus is not looking at the complete scope of chemicals in use today. We also need to look at oncological treatment that was permitted in the USA during those eight years. I mean, Dear God, what they did is a crime. I mean that, too.
So, basically, everyone needs to calm down. There are right ways and wrong ways of approaching this issue, but, by damn it we are going to do it and the people of the USA are going to have peace of mind regarding their market places and what is good for them and what isn't and YES, there is going to be LEGISLATION to pick up where Carson left off and the industry will be regulated !
To show EVERYONE how completely manipulative the Petroleum Industry is, they released information about the safety of chemicals from oil about 6 hours ago or so. They are monsterous in their propaganda and information CONTROL. The Petroleum Industry likes to control information and scientists, but, not the toxic effect of oil and their practices.
GIVE ME A BREAK !!!!!!
At this point, with Chemical Dispersants being touted as 'the savior' in the Gulf of Mexico, lends itself to having potential for a Great Lakes disaster if the nature of those chemicals aren't known and the circulation of the oil that is sinking isn't tracked. The Gulf of Mexico RUPTURE is more than any civilized society should tolerate. This has the potential of being an international incident. Not only that, but, what in heck are the fisheries going to look like. Can't wait to see how many legs frogs are going to have in six months from now along those shorelines. I still believe in torpedoes over any 'Act by BP.'

BP Won't Say What Toxics It's Dumping Onto Its Oil Spill
http://www.ombwatch.org/node/10984...Most view the use of these dispersants as a trade off – either disperse the oil throughout the water column and damage the aquatic life we cannot see, or let more come to shore and kill a lot of wildlife that we can see. (This "trade off" inaccurately assumes that life on shore is not connected to life deep in the water.) It is important to remember that using dispersants does not reduce the amount of oil being spilled. It does add secret chemicals whose environmental and public health impacts are poorly understood....
And a trade off is exactly what those chemicals are. There is NO CHOICE. The Petroleum Industry is completely negligent in prudent practices and this is the direct result of it. 5000 feet down in the ocean, what was any reasonable human being thinking? Men are not gods, except, on Wall Street. I don't think so!
