baby powder health

im doing a speech on why the FDA should regulate personal care prouducts and i need more information help!?!?

so this is wht i have so far:
Do you think that major businesses would avoid putting there customers in dangers way, when they would make lots of money even by doing so? I don’t! For example, just look at are tobacco companies. Every year many people die from using there products. Yet they continue to sell and produce there products because there making millions from it. Did you know that your cosmetics and personal care products aren’t even regulated by the FDA before they are sold to you? The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health discovered that 884 out of the 2,983 chemicals available to be used in cosmetics alone have been reported as toxic substances to the government. If the FDA doesn’t start regulating these products then just think about it that’s millions of people everyday that are putting themselves in danger of serious harmful conditions. There are statistics and sceneries that prove that cosmetics are a danger to the pubic. And proof that the FDA dose not regulate cosmetics nor do they make very many efforts to warn you or the dangers.
One of the main reasons the FDA should regulate personal care products is the FDA website directly quotes that: “Cosmetic products and ingredients are not subject to pre market approval authority, with exception of color additives. However, FDA may pursue enforcement action against violative products or against firms or individuals who violate the law.” The FDA also states that: “Cosmetic firms are responsible for sustaining the safety of their products and ingredients before marketing failure to adequately substantiate the safety of a cosmetic product or its ingredients prior to marketing causes the product to misbranded unless the following warning statement appears conspicuously on the principal display panel of the products label: warning –the safety of this product has not been determined.” Their for because the FDA dose not regulate cosmetics and other personal care products just by using the products you are putting yourself in danger of cancer, genetic damage, and other serious conditions. Cosmetics include: baby powder, bubble bath, toothpaste, deodorants, shaving cream, hair tonics, hairsprays, colognes, sun tan lotions, mouth washes, baby shampoo, hand lotions, shampoo, conditioner, hair dyes, moisturizing cream, and many other products. Americans think these products are safe. But this confidence is too unjustified. Our public wants and demands higher standards of protection. This protection has been established for drugs, medical devices, and food additives but not for cosmetics. The Cosmetic industries want people to believe that no effective regulation of cosmetics is necessary at state or federal level. The FDA doesn’t even do much, to protect or warn women when it comes to the danger of using femine hygiene products. Not only have that but the legislation prohibited states from taking action as well.
Cosmetics are under-regulated and too often hazardous. Here are just a couple examples of people that found this out the hard way: A 59 year old woman almost died from a allergic reaction she had to hair dye. Another woman of age47 had her cornea destroyed by a mascara wand. A 6 year old girl and her mother used air product that resulted in second degree burns on her ears and neck! As result of using a inflammable hair treatmfgbfgytjjjyjyjtjhhnnnhjnjhjjjmmmmjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk……..zzs very scarred. Other examples of injures that cosmetics can result in are: pain and tissue damage, sores, eye infection, cancer, blindness, eye problems such as; rash, redness, swelling, and inflammation. And the list goes on and on. For every one million cosmetics products purchased there are 200 more visits to a doctor to treat cosmetic-caused illnesses.
A study for consumer product safety commission in 1987 found that in 1 year alone, cosmetic products result in 47,000 emergency room visits. Between 1985 and 1987 more then 150,000 cosmetic related injures occurred. One third of chemicals used in cosmetics are toxic. More then 125 ingredients that are in cosmetics are suspected to be the cause of cancer. 20 cosmetic ingredients may affect the nervous system; this includes headaches, drowsiness, and convulsions. Birth defects are suspected to be cause by another 20 cosmetic ingredients. The GAO concluded that: “cosmetics are being marketed in the united states which may pose a serious hazard to the public.”
I believe that the cosmetic companies should be regulated by the FDA. To make
The likeliness of a person becoming injured less. And reduce the number of visits to the emergency room because of cosmetic related injures.

How do you convert baby formula powder-ounces into liquid-ounces (once it has been mixed)?

If a powdered formula has 25.75 ounces, about how many ounces does it make when you mix the water in (generally)?
It’s for an assignment for my health class.

My vagina always smells….?

I go to the gynecologist yearly (Just went 3 months ago) and I am always tested for STD’s every year or no. I am married, but men are known for cheating. And I always leave with a clean bill of health.

I am always moist, and always have some type of discharge. And in the folds of my vagina, smells horrible. My butt crack and anus always smell as well. Moist there as well. No amount of washing, baby wipes or deodorant powder help….

Also, its always worse (And different smell) after sex, smells funky for at least 3 days.

Whats going on? Anyone else? I am so ashamed and embarrassed:-(
***Is there really any need for the rude responses???***

-I do not wear underware
-I only wear loose fitting clothes
-I dont push soap in when i wash
-I do not douche (I have PCOS)

I do use scented baby powder (Doesnt help) I do use baby wipes several times a day. I do take both showers and baths. I just dont know what else to do to keep dry down there!

why do powdered drinks increase saliva?

im asking this about me im 19, not to be confused with those baby spiting up articles. now i have noticed that when ever i drink powdered drinks i have to spit out allot of extra saliva on a regular basis and its a noticeable amount. its not that im drinking more or less fluids than normal, and other drinks do not do this to me. this only occurs when i make any powdered drink like gator aid or iced tea or cool aid. its not really causing a health problem that i know of or anything this is mainly more curiosity than anything else.
