-- his young children.
So -- check that out here with the independent women's forum and we'd like to check out stuff like this would you find it.
There's over a thousand study's.
Independent studies that have said that BP is perfectly safe for common years.
So EPA is -- vilified and after -- invisible.
And people tend to say it will chemicals at scary so.
You know I'll just trust what some activist organization -- consumer rights organizations has.
And I'll avoid it but there's no reason to avoid these so -- it for the activists in this so called consumer rights groups which are used to believe it.
Right there's a lot and it -- -- money.
They sell fear a lot of them get money on newsletters at new south.
And this is to not just for these organizations.
But the mainstream media have that report found that.
The biggest environmental group is the NRDC the natural resources defense council they sold -- -- alar scare.
They now have a 185.
Million dollars in assets and on their website we can do it.
We can get the BP A -- -- baby -- Right this is an -- -- right they say.
There's that there's chemical out there that's scary that's dangerous and we're looking out for you we -- going to tell you know that these.
These chemicals -- scary.
And so they issued -- reports -- don't even meet them that they six scientific standards yet the government respond.
And they detail EPA is now banned in baby -- that's right and what -- says.
Actually they -- these reports it generates a number of headlines.
Than the public is scared and demands that lawmakers and regulatory agents.
Solve this problem FDA commissioner said we're we're banning it based on the preference of consumers did not reflect concerns about the safety of BP.
When you argue this issue with people they -- often cite all the government banned BP -- The funny thing is many of these governments have actually certify the safety of EPA but due to public pressure they ban at all -- -- -- So official what so -- -- that power we heard what were hurt in this that this is BP A free right but we have a substitute.
What once I had children I noticed my goodness -- -- many things.
That I should be afraid of enemy not things I really should be afraid of like loose nukes but my garden -- -- Campbell sukuk.
And my baby's bottle.
And this seemed absurd to me and when I really looked and I dug deeper into this issue I realized a lot of these claims are based on junk science and very badly done scientific studies and Campbell Soup is gonna phase it out to appetite and we don't think it's dangerous but it we got -- wouldn't as a -- we have to respondent and this is.
This is one of the examples of the cost to industry.
Campbell's soup doesn't have an alternative there is no safe alternative to eat it right now stopping by realism which does kill people.
Industry and now Campbell Soup is -- as under incredible pressure.
To -- about so imagine how much money Campbell Soup is spending on research and development instead of expanding their business.
Jobs I mean these are the things that -- seems to be doing particularly in this economy not trying to find a replacement for a product that's completely say.
This other chemical they're freaking out about Refaeli right.
It's -- saw hybrid plans to write like rubber ducky.
School supplies school supply she does -- liver damage -- you -- scare you.
That's right.
Every year around when school starts up in the fall a you'll start to see these reports.
You killer backpacks and murdering three ring binders.
That the -- says that actually the CDC has said the only way that you could see that you get.
-- -- into your body at Trace levels if you consume.
Sally -- it's so if your child is eating their retreat -- -- or their backpack.
That's the real concern but until they're actually eating their backpack you don't need to worry about.
Even and it probably would have been a bunch of exactly -- state how you.
