Red Alert: The Trouble with Tampons
- Do you know that tampons
and pads contain traces of dioxin, deemed a "probable carcinogen"
by the Environmental Protection Agency?
- That studies have linked
dioxin exposure to infertility, immune-system suppression and hormonal
abnormalities?
- That dioxin may take centuries
to degrade and that it accumulates in human fat tissue?
- That a woman may use over
11,000 tampons in her lifetime?
- That 3 companies control
90% of the multi-billion dollar sanitary protection industry? And that
the FDA bases their claims of tampon safety on studies conducted by
the manufacturers themselves?
When it
comes to sanitary protection the personal truly is political.
