First, our commenting system only allows for 1 link to be included in your comments. This helps prevent SPAM. That may be why your original comments didn’t show up.

Second, the EWG (the people responsible for the database you linked to) is a group of lawyers. They do not let science get in the way of their opinions. Their data is a mix of solid research and unfounded heresay. They are not unbiased.

Third, your assertions that every company is greedy and money hungry is without merit. Good, hardworking people work at these companies. They do not want to create products that harm people. For you to say otherwise is insulting to all the people that work at these companies.

Fourth, we don’t say that “formaldehyde and parabens all kinds of synthetic (and some natural) preservatives and junk will not affect you in any way.” We say these things can be used safely at reasonable levels.

If you are really interested in opening your mind ask yourself this one question, what would it take to prove that synthetic chemicals are not harmful? If there is no answer, then it’s not worth having a conversation with you.

I find it deplorable that, without any basis of fact or supporting evidence or literature, you would actually sit here and say that these corporations, who are run by greedy dollar-worshipping people who don’t really care who they hurt, are NOT putting toxic chemicals in their products. That is akin to saying that eating a meal at McDonald’s is as good and safe as eating a meal of organic, whole-wheat bread with organic free-range chicken and organic green beans.

There is a reason natural and organic items cost so much, and that is because it is cheap (but terribly harmful) to use all these chemicals in everything from food and beauty products to clothing, but doing something the old-fashioned and healthy way takes time and energy. Time and hard work costs money, so of course most businesses won’t do it.

If you had done any research at all, you would have come across this website:

http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/index.php?nothanks=1

They have scientific, published facts of chemicals and their side effects. You can’t seriously believe that using formaldehyde and parabens all kinds of synthetic (and some natural) preservatives and junk will not affect you in any way.

It seems that your site is seen as a bit of an authority. Please do your research before misleading the public.
