This morning, as I frequently do, I watched a portion of "Good Morning America" I was particularly enticed to watch the segment on cancer myths. Not being an expert on everything but having done a good amount of research on cancer and its causes, I can only say that this segment of Good Morning America was nothing more than damage control for corporate America. The two myths that I instantly recognized as "cover thy ass for our advertisers" were:
1) that chemicals in body care have absolutely no relationship to breast or other cancers. I suggest they take a look at the Organic Consumers Organization's study on parabens and breast cancer. Now while one could argue that the study does not prove beyond a doubt - keep in mind that the tobacco industry is still trying to say that smoking does not cause cancer. And why take a chance and play with fire when there are many chemical free products on the market. My favorite is the MiEssence line form Australia. You can check them out at http://www.blissfullyorganic.com/ While you are there make sure to download the free ebook "Chemical Cocktails" for more information about chemicals in body care.
2) the 2CD myth I would like to dispute with "Good Morning America" is that the sun causes cancer. As humans we developed in a word full or sunshine not sunscreens. Our body needs the sun to make Vitamin D. There is more and more evidence coming out that the lack of sun not the addition of sun is creating a rise in the cancer rate. Also most people don't realize that the chemicals in typical sunscreens are carcinogenic (they work by absorbing the sun and in the process breakdown to free radicals which cause cancer) In fact 3 of the 4 chemicals now used in sunscreens in the US are already banned in Europe and they are looking into banning the 4Th. For an in depth article on this topic see http://www.skinbiology.com/toxicsunscreens.html While sunblocks such as zinc oxide can be safer than sunscreens, they still prevent us from getting the Vitamin D we need and should not be used on a daily basis. By the way ONE Group just came out with an organic sunblock which you can check out at http://www.blissfullyorganic.com/
There were other myths covered on "Good Morning America" such as cell phones. For me knowing that the truth was not told on at least 2 portions of the story, the whole story becomes questionable. It seems the whole gist of this report was "Don't worry- be happy" But you know the old saying "Liar. liar pants on fire" this statement appears to apply more in this instance.

I'm interested in what we should to to protect are babies skin, if sunscreen isn't good?
I know my topic may seem a bit controversial, and chances are you may delete it, but it is a serious matter.
As you have probably seen on Oprah, most the major network news, etc. there is a deadly carcinogen that is the major ingredient in most sex toys. It is called PVC (forgot what it stands for..Poly-something). It is so deadly it has recently been banned from ALL children's toys by the FDA, yet remains in adult toys.
I have found two on the market, thus far, that are totally organic and, I'm glad to say, have been given rave reviews. They are called The Rosebud and the other is called The Rabbit Habit (don't confuse this one with the old reliable Rabbit, it is a "Killer Rabbit, like the rest of them.
One store sells them both, but the majority of items there are loaded with PVC so you have to go to the site's search engine and type in the names of them to see the products and info.
Another thing, I can testify, they work. I am a reviewer of such toys, only orgnanic ones now that i know what "the real deal" is, and they are just as "user-friendly". :)
Finally, I found a discount code (if one purchase anything in the store) and it is "steamy08": works 100% of the time and is a 10% discount.
Click on the link below to get to site. This is not a site for kids btw, must be 18 or older to enter.
I realize this is a sensitive controversial topic, and perhaps one that most would like to be kept silent, but since it is a well-known fact that a very large percentage of women in America (and worldwide) are toy-friendly, they need to know what is killing them, and what is eco-friendly. These two toys are 100% green.
Hope this helps someone. Thanks for letting me share; it is a good thing to have fun and help your body and the planet at the same time.

The most prevalent and easily avoidable type of cancer is the one caused by the use of tobacco. This includes the use of cigarettes, cigars and pipes. Even though smokers are addicted to nicotine, the fact that 200,000 people die every year due to smoking caused cancer should be enough motivation to quit. Some experts say that cessation of smoking can increase lifespan by up to 20 years. http://www.chantixhome.com/
