Lavender Oil May Spur Breasts in Boys

February 3rd, 2007 Posted in Holistic Health, Personal Care, This n That

This was reported in the news back during the summer but is once again appearing.  I tried to find some more information on the studies but I’m highly suspect. Why are we zeroing in on the NATURAL ingredients that no one major pharm or chemical company produces?  Now I know natural can be dangerous too but it just seems to me that there may very well be ANOTHER ingredient in all three of hte products used by these boys that mimics hormones….say like PARABENS?

    excellent thing to surmise! not to mention that many products which claim to contain tt and lav only contain fragrance oils not essential oils… and the artical doesn’t say clearly.

    EXACTLY! The press release back during the summer did state that it could very well be another ingredient in all products used by the 3 boys. But it seems they focused on the natural ingredients that have been starting to get alot of respect from the medical community lately. Hmmm….coinkydink? I think not.
