The European union has more strict and protective laws for cosmetics than the USA. EU has corrected the Instruction  Cosmetics to forbid use of chemicals which are known or are insistently suspected of generation of a , a mutation or congenital defects. This amendment has come into force in September 2004. (Visit the European commission online for last time of the corrected Instruction of Cosmetics in repeated languages.) the European union also suggests to change a way which it regulates all chemicals that health of the person is better to protect. EU wishes to demand, that the chemical companies have checked up chemicals on effects of health before they will be placed in the market. Bush’s government worked to prevent to pass to Europe these protective laws. See that the message a member of House of Representatives Henry Waxman for more information about the American intervention from EU plans to change a way by which chemicals are adjusted.

Cancer is no laughing matter, but we’d like to give props to City of Hope’s Underwear Affair campaign, which draws attention to the unpleasant and often-ignored diseases that develop beneath one’s drawers by getting people to drop them — or at least run around in their undies. We’re not talking STDs, but cancer of the prostate, colon, cervix, kidney, bladder, testicles, ovaries and uterus. Anyway, should you want see lots of skin while supporting research for these forms of cancer, go check out the 10k run tomorrow at the La Brea Tar Pits, 3pm.
