SCANDAL - We do something about it!

Check the labels of tampons
you want to buy the next time and see whether you
identify some of the familiar signs stated in this e-mail.
No wonder so many women
the world suffer from cervical cancer and cervical cancer.
know that the manufacturers of dioxin and rayon tampons used in their products?
are carcinogenic and toxic! Why then the
tampons are not against the law? Why
absorbent interior is not a product
food and therefore are not considered dangerous or illegal.
HERE IS THE SCOOP: The
tampons contain two things that are
potentially harmful: Rayon (for absorbency) and dioxin (a chemical used to
whitening products).
Sometimes they also contain small percentages of asbestos
,
in the female to induce a more intense
hemorrhage (bleeding more than
absorbent consumed).
industry towel internal '
convinced that we, as women
,
we need bleached white products
to think that the product is pure and clean.
The problem 'is that the dioxin, which is produced in this process
whitening can bring serious damage to the body!
Dioxin '
been associated with cancer in clinical studies, and it'
toxic to the immune system and reproductive systems.
E 'has also been linked to endometriosis and lower sperm counts
for men.
Last September, the Environmental Protection Agency
EPA announced that there is a level 'acceptable'
of exposure to dioxin
and saw that 'cumulative and slow to disintegrate.
The real danger comes from repeated contact (Karen
Couppert 'Pulling the Plug on the Tampon Industry
') I'd say using about 3-4 tampons a
day for five days this month, for 38 years and
'a' repeated contact '. Do not you think?
Rayon contributes to the danger of
tampons and dioxin because it 's
a highly absorbent substance. So when
fibers from the tampons are left behind in cervical
(as usually happens), this creates a
tank 'of the dioxin. Among other things, much more remains within
longer than they would with
tampons
just cotton, rayon because it is lighter and tends to stick
.
That 's also the reason why the
TSS (toxic shock syndrome)
can affect women who use tampons (
as you can read the information sheet
ALL
tampons on the market).
WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES? Use absorbent
external or non bleached and
all cotton.
Other feminine hygiene products (tampons
external / napkins) contain dioxin
, but are not as dangerous as
towels Affairs. Unfortunately, not
products and bleached cotton
found almost exclusively in the stores 'products
organic' (and therefore more expensive).
In 1989, activists in England mounted a campaign against the
chlorine bleaching. Six weeks and
50,000 letters later, the
producers of sanitary products switched to oxygen
(one of the green methods available - MS magazine,
May / June 1995
)
WHAT TO DO NOW: Tell people. At all. Tell them
. This industry is hurting us, we
something to prevent it! If you have time, write a letter to the company
Tampax -
Playtex - OB, Kotex. On the boxes there is always a
delivery.
Let them know that we demand a safe product
tampons
ALL COTTON UNBLEACHED.
