Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 - Elaine * Health and Healing * Sunday, April 21, 2002 10:54 AM Lead in Baby Powders - http://www.y2khealthanddetox.com/newsletter1-2.html - Lead in Baby Powders ABC (the American Broadcasting Corp.) aired and excerpt on one of their news shows exposing the fact that many baby powders contain varying amounts of lead. Lead, according to some scientific sources absorbs through the skin into your body’s cells. This would be particularly harmful to the infant because of two reasons. One, of course is their small body weight mathematically making the absorption of any toxin that much more dangerous and two, because of their rapidly growing and multiplying cells would incorporate the toxin to virtually every new cell. Lead has a preference to storing in the cells of the bones, which are developing from cartilage to bond in the infant. It has also been implicated in learning disabilities. The powders allegedly containing lead include: Ammens Medicated powder, Caldesene Protecting Powder with Zinc oxide, Gold Bond Medicated Baby Powder, Desitin Corn Starch Baby Powder, Dr. Scholl’s Medicated Powder with Zinc oxide, Johnson’s Baby Medicated Powder, Longs Medicated Baby Powder, Mexsana Medicated Baby Powder, Walgreen’s Medicated Baby Powder. It appears that is mostly the powders that claim to be medicated or protective which contain lead. Powders that do NOT contain lead are: Diparene Cornstarch Baby Powder, Johnson’s Baby Powder, Longs Hypoallergenic Baby Powder and Walgreens Baby Powder.
