Gwyneth Paltrow is loopy
What troubles me most about this story is not that Gwyneth Paltrow really thinks she's some kind of supergenius -- she's famous; it comes with the territory -- but that some dumb people are probably listening to her. From the Daily Mail:

What troubles me most about this story is not that Gwyneth Paltrow really thinks she's some kind of supergenius -- she's famous; it comes with the territory -- but that some dumb people are probably listening to her. From the Daily Mail:
Gwyneth Paltrow has been branded ‘loopy’ by scientists after warning that products such as shampoo could be linked to cancer. The actress says she was ‘seized with fear’ after reading research about what she calls ‘environmental toxins’ - chemicals which are present in everyday items. Miss Paltrow said children were unable to easily break down toxins and claimed the number of children getting cancer and autism was growing ‘exponentially’.Gwyneth doesn't believe in using certain hygiene products? Weird, she doesn't look French. As it turns out, Gwyneth may actually be right. Overexposing yourself to particular items can sometimes cause people to come down with serious mental disorders. And in Gwyneth's case, it's pretty apparent what she's developed: Vanity. The culprit: Her mirror.
Leading bacteriologist Professor Hugh Pennington described her claims as ‘rubbish’ and ‘loopy’. And Cancer Research UK said the number of children with cancer had not changed in the past ten years and there was no known environmental cause for the disease.
She made the claims on her website goop.com, where she usually airs her views on her favourite restaurants and organic food recipes.
She said: "A couple of years ago I was asked to give a quote for a book concerning environmental toxins and their effects on our children. While reading up on the subject, I was seized with fear about what the research said. Fetuses, infants and toddlers are basically unable to metabolize toxins the way that adults are, and we are constantly filling our environments with chemicals that may or may not be safe. The research is troubling; the incidence of diseases in children such as asthma, cancer and autism have shot up exponentially and many children we all know and love have been diagnosed with developmental issues like ADHD [Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder]."
You ever bene to her Goop site? Not bad.
w-w-w .goop. c-o-m
Actually toxins are known to cause cancer, also radiation just that the chemicals used for many household products are made with known cancer causing toxins but in such a weak and diluted state that it is BELIEVED that it will not cause cancer/malformed cells, but we really don't know what doses over a long period of time does because then the illness is masked by time and age.
Gwenyeth is allowed to have her concerns because we all just don't know - There was a time when scientists told the American population that radiation did not have any bad effect on health
Isnt she chain smoking in all her movies?
It's amazing how some people have it so well they have to make stuff up to scare themselves.
