@thatthingido2 What? Really? Didn't something like that just happen in the news?

[Haereticus Environmental Laboratory @HaereticusL]

@zephzoid Actually, our local orchards spray DPA, so had to establish our own orchards. They spray them on the organic apples also, so watch out.

@OrkneyUncovered Birsay Books. That is the place!

@pfoaprojectny1 If you can, please ask then to add all the parabens - methyl paraben to benzyl paraben. We've detected them all in this product category.

@EHPonline I wondered what was going to happen. Glad EHP found a home!

@HomerPavlos Beautiful!

@ScienceNews Then how come the Chinese did a study this year and found that bemotrizinol was second only to octocrylene in contaminating human breast milk? Is it not being absorbed?

[Haereticus Environmental Laboratory @HaereticusL]

@CaryKelly11 Did you check to see if those studies were funded by industry? No you didn't. How about one that wasn't funded by industry that actually influenced BASF to stop selling it? Benzophenone is a known carcinogen.

@DellaDream_ Some sunscreen formulations could also potentially cause birth defects.

[Haereticus Environmental Laboratory @HaereticusL]

Um... you can't say it is a safer ingredient when BASF failed to comply with submitting any of the toxicology data required by the FDA. Look at their 2015 correspondence. Bemotrizinol is potentially a "forever chemical" coupled to a potential triazine (same family as atrazine) endocrine disruptor that can cause "gender changed" in lower vertebrates (e.g., look up Tyrone Hayes from UC-Berkeley).

@FrankLuntz Frank. The dude is a dermatologist, not a "molecular oncologist."

@SharylAttkisson @JMKnightMD Sunscreens with oxybenzone may even cause birth defects.

[Haereticus Environmental Laboratory @HaereticusL]

@jimmy_dore @YannickBuccella Benzophenone is one of those cancer causing chemicals.

[Haereticus Environmental Laboratory @HaereticusL]

@YannickBuccella @jimmy_dore Octocrylene degrages into benzophenone, a known carcinogen, which is why the FDA banned benzophenone as a food ingredient.
