 Someone just told me that lavender might be a hormone disruptor --but in a quick search tea tree oil also is suspect. https://www.endocrine.org/news-and-advocacy/news-room/2018/chemicals-in-lavender-and-tea-tree-oil-appear-to-be-hormone-disruptors #health #lavender #tee tree oil

 I don't really know anything here except that both lavender and tea tree oil is delightful and if there is any disruption on the hormones, it must be of the delightful kind.

 exactly, humans have been exposing themselves to this for thousands of years, this is bogus bullshit science probably to justify some new law or protect some pharmaceutical market segment

 oh, but don't worry about maltodextrin or residual glyphosate in food and especially seed oils and especially don't worry about microplastics

 Exactly. Seems like FDA may want to grab control over essential oils 👀

 yeah, probably

they did such a good job stopping fentanyl with their prohibition of heroin, which technically is still a legal pharmaceutical by prescription

 I posted about those toxic things you mentioned in earlier posts. It turns out that both those oils are only a problem in large doses apparently.  And I am always suspicious of FDA scams--so I welcome any thoughtful comments.
