Having problems with message search?
Dear Bart --
I'm glad you persevered . . . this is just the kind of info the
MCS community needs.
I plan to add that to EHN's site, so thanks for the tip.
best wishes,

I live in SF. One day in the upper Haight, I stopped in City Optix and had a conversation about chemicals and fragrances. I smelled nothing in the place, and the two women I talked to said that they are very aware of the issue and that no one in the place wears anything smelly or toxic.
I have not done more than that. But when I'm ready for new glasses, I'll go there.
Here's a review site for the non-mcs issues.

GREEN products, according to
the
US Dept. of the Interior, "MUST NOT
contain
petrochemical-derived
fragrances."

[Prof. Anne C.] "Steinemann
researches the
harmful effects of synthetic
fragrances on
human health. Of the switch in
soaps at the UW,
she said, 'This is a landmark
accomplishment,
because fragrances have been
linked to a range
of adverse health effects, not
just on the people
who use the soaps but the rest of
the community,
through second-hand-scents.'"

And, what started a lot of the studies of
fragrances?
EHN's Fragrance FDA Citizens'
Petition Docket Number 99P-1340
Write to the FDA . . . tell them to protect
your health
by regulating the flavors and fragrance
industry. Alas, no
more email to the FDA; to make everything
more difficult
for the public, the FDA states . .
.
"To ensure more timely processing of
comments, FDA is no longer
accepting comments submitted directly to
the agency by e-mail.
Electronic comments may be submitted,
however, by using the
agency Web site at
http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/default.htm
or the Federal eRulemaking Portal at
