"A chemical commonly used in lipsticks, face washes and toothpaste may cause heart and muscle problems, according to scientists.

They found triclosan, which is in hundreds of household products, can hinder the process by which muscles, including the heart, receive signals from the brain.

In tests on mice, they noted a ‘dramatic’ 25 per cent reduction in heart function within 20 minutes of exposure, and warned there is ‘strong evidence’ it could affect human health.

However regulators and other experts insist triclosan levels in products are safe, and that the doses injected into the mice were higher than those to which humans would ever be exposed.

Although previous studies have found that triclosan may have links to thyroid and fertility problems, this is the first time its effects have been tested on muscles.

Scientists had thought that the chemical – which was devised to prevent bacterial infections in hospitals – was metabolised quickly by the body without harmful effects.

However, the researchers at the University of California say it may remain active and be transported to organs, causing damage.

Professor Isaac Pessah, who led the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, said: ‘These findings provide strong evidence that it is of concern to both human and environmental health."

They originally tried putting lipstick on pigs, but the FDA cited them for copyright infringement.

Looks alot like DIOXIN, which is one of the most deadly poisons ever devised by man.

Years ago, my brother told me about a neighbor of his in the rural south who illegally dumped several gallons of Dioxin on his property. It killed everything over several acres, from bushes to bugs to birds to trees to mammals - everything. He was eventually arrested by the Feds and was never heard from again - probably EPA. The guy caused massive environmental damage - total vertical destruction of the food chain.

Examining the MSDS of tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride, the active ingredient in VISINE eye drops, it warns to use eye protection when handling the chemical.

When you bleach paper (to get toilet paper) dioxin is the result. The thought of absorbing this through one of the more sensitive areas of the body is scary. I was raised using a Sears catalog in an outhouse.
