Abstract: The Environmental Working Group (EWC), a non-profit research based, consumer advocacy
organization based in Washington D.C. reports personal care products expose children to an average of 60
chemicals every day that they can breathe in or that absorb through their skin. The Feingold Association is a
non-profit organization started by a pediatrician dedicated to helping expose how ingredients in foods and
personal care products can trigger eczema, hives, asthma, headaches, dyslexia, irritability, infections, autism,
PDD, ADHD and ADD. To make wiser choices, you should: * Buy organic produce free of pesticides * Drink milk
that's free of antibiotics and bovine growth hormones. * Buy personal care products from companies that don't
contain synthetic or natural ingredients that promise miraculous results.
