Booby-Trapped Candles?

 

Pretty candles are a beautiful part of many holidays, but

beware those with bright colors. Not only are they likely

to have artificial colorings in them (which you will

breathe as they burn) but these colorings may also be

protected by BHT (Butylated HydroxyToluene), one of the

preservatives eliminated on the Feingold Program.

 

In addition to causing behavioral and/or physical problems

in sensitive people, BHT is a known tumor promoter. It is

also one of many chemicals found in the environment and in

sewage. This and other estrogen-like chemicals are

believed to be the cause of the decline in sperm

production in recent years.

 

Think before you breathe it.

 

While you are checking out the candles, pay attention to

the wick. Studies have shown that candles with lead wicks

can release dangerous amounts of lead into the air. Since

lead is one of the heavy metals that can cause symptoms of

ADHD at low levels, you may want to ask your doctor about

testing for lead if you or your child has been exposed to

such candles.

 

If you see silver-colored fibers in the candle wick, hold

on to the tip of the wick and rub a piece of paper across

it. If it makes a mark like a pencil, then it contains

lead.

 

Dr. L. Eugene Arnold, in his presentation at the National

Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1998, suggested that all

children with symptoms of ADHD should be screened for lead

levels since this is a problem that can be treated if it

is identified.
