Oh, and that. That is silly. You mean you really can’t rank a list of ingredients in certain ratios by their safety? I’m pretty sure you can, if you have sufficient research. And for the record, I don’t believe there is a whole lot of conclusive research on the danger of parabens, I just don’t think that makes them automatically safe. Neither does a fairly weak sampling of 20 girls with methylparaben in their blood. But still, it’s not “misleading…” and the fact that parabens have been flagged as potentially dangerous makes me interested in what further research proves, as opposed to interested in pointing and laughing at those who are worried.

“People actually put food into their bodies not cosmetics,”
…transdermal skin patches that administer medication have been shown in many cases to be more effective than those taken orally. Hmm, that’s weird. Maybe it’s because our skin is absorbent. No.. it can’t be…

Attacking health supplement companies did not distract me from the real issue, if that’s what you were going for. I don’t see how that topic is at all relevant. Yeah, that industry has it problems, too. So what?

I consistently find very little “science” in your articles. Just an understanding of basic chemistry, lack of real research, distracting attacks on loosely related parties, and a nice pat on the back to encourage me to march into Walmart’s body wash aisle with my head held high. It’s not that I don’t want to feel safe about the products I use, it’s that you don’t give me ANY legitimate reasons to do so.
