Having problems with message search?
Greetings,
I suffer from profound MCS due to a 25 year exposure to lead fumes in the workplace. I have my good days and bad days, but with the knowledge and help of some great alternative practicianers I am learning alot and do pretty well. However, I had some trouble sleeping last night and did some fact checking on these items at www.snopes.com On this page http://www.snopes.com/toxins/lipstick.asp it states that the information about Lead in Lipstick is false. Even so, it is a very interesting read. I find it useful and interesting to fact check using the snopes website to debunk internet hoaxes.
I couldn't find any information on mercury in soap and could find nothing at all on the subject of murcury in soaps at snopes. This appears to be spam to our listgroup as the email contact Sungold Soap is the same as the commercial website, but I would rather have the listgroup moderator make that determination.
Blessings,
Jack
