Commission sources say that the paper was buried by top EU officials under pressure from big chemical firms which use EDCs in toiletries, plastics and cosmetics, despite an annual health cost that studies peg at hundreds of millions of euros.

Ain't corporate government grand?

By definition, corporations have no guiding purpose except to profit and grow themselves. There is no moral or human variable in the equations they use. They can and do and will kill us for profit.

CORPORATE MONEY OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT AND ELECTIONS, NOW.

When money trumps peace, how far down the To-Do list is product safety?

Thank you for the heads-up, lovuian. These chemicals and their "Body Burden" may play a big role in why so many people are so messed up.
