Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Enviroblog shared a stunning video today in their article Please Don’t Disrupt My Endocrines. It’s an eye-opening look at the umbilical cord blood study, Body Burden, completed by the Environmental Working Group. The Kid-Safe Chemical Act is a direct result of the study – and you’ll understand why the Act is necessary after you watch the video.

I watched your video and applaud all involved and give you my profound thanks for bringing awareness to the world ... I would like to purchase a video to show in my cafe. I have an organic raw food cafe and enjoy servicing people the best I can. I would also like to bring awareness to people by giving free info so we can all help make that change. Many thanks I look forward to your reply.

Wow, Ken - thank you so much for taking the time to let us know you enjoy our blog!

We certainly admire your work with EWG. You keep us on the cutting edge of current developments in the world of harmful chemicals. We cut our teeth on EWG's immense research database and use so many aspects of it on a regular basis.

Very sincerely,

Even though I knew from the title that this had to do with babies I was still shocked that the ten americans were fetuses. I'm currently pregnant and although I used the most natural alternatives I can find for everything I didn't always and it makes me wonder how many toxins I've given my defenseless little baby.
