Wow, who knew, using lavender and tea tree scented products really does make you a girl? 
Seriously though, there are WAY too many chemicals in today's household products. Scary stuff.

The study reported on the condition, gynecomastia, in three boys ages 4, 7 and 10. They all went back to normal when they stopped using skin lotions, hair gel, shampoo or soap with the natural oils.
It's unclear how often this problem might crop up in other young children.
not newsworthy.

Tap water is a bigger problem as it is loaded with birth control hormones and anti-depressents.

As I wrote on my blog, this soy thing does explain both the overall metrosexual look of young Japanese men as well as their declining birth rate.
Friends don`t let friends eat soy. Just say no to Tofu. (That would be a good t-shirt. That an `Tofu is murder.`)

Right, because no one in Japan ate soy until the 1980s.
