A test of 47 "natural" and "green" labeled soaps, shampoos and other consumer products show that they contain 1,4-dioxan, which has been shown to cause cancer in lab rats. [LAT]

Didn't we already go over this a few weeks ago?
What doesn't give lab rats cancer?
Which 53 did not have 1,4 whatever?
yes, but will it smooth my crow's feet?
Green just means good for the environment. Less humans is good for the environment.
Woohoo, glad I buy the cheap stuff full of gum acacia and words I can't pronounce.
What a dilemma. whether to have squeaky clean fresh smelling cancer-laden rats or healthy dirty stinky ones....Hmmmm.
I'd like to see how these compare to regular non-green or non-natural products.
it's dioxane. Just because it sounds "chemically" doesn't mean it's bad.
Oil is natural and organic, so what's the issue?
so? Is 1,4-dioxan natural? Does it decompose and not harm the environment?
Can't imagine a lot of rats (lab or non-lab) getting into enough of this to cause cancer out in the wild anyway.
