Subject: your article on parabens
Hi Stuart,
I read your excellent and extremely well-researched article on parabens. You may be interested in the article attached which we just published in Toxicology Letters. It points to the very same direction as your article. The article is available as open access, so it can be distributed to all interested parties. By the way, methylparaben acts as a sex pheromone in female canines; thus it rather seems to further reproduction than impeding it.
Cheers and best regards

There is NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT PARABENS CAUSE CANCER. www.cancer.org/cancer (there are many more links if you google cancer)
In our aqueous cream based products we use the purest Colloidal Silver as our main preservative as well as the use fruit acids which are naturally derived from nature identical sources in a ratio of 0.02mg / 25kg bucket of cream, then diluted with our vitamin and cold pressed oil fractions, when we’re manufacturing a batch of creams of which we do 80 / 50ml creams per batch.

I would urge you to also read our research on Progesterone cancer, the creams that are used under the arm, straight up into the lymph nodes …. That should be the real scare.

I hope that you find this information useful and if there’s ONE reliable and effective skin care range you can trust its GAIA.
Kind regards
