Answer... bad, unless it is non GMO-fermented which most is not. Cancer, hormonely disruptive to all ages, think soy formula??? This article was super duper informative. I always wondered, soy, good, right, health food, right? tofu, good right? nope. Soy milk, good right? Pretty much all of it, not good. We were drinking soy milk for a while... my mom kept telling me negative things about soy she read and heard, but it was right in the health food area of our grocery store... it had to be healthy right?? Isn't it funny the stuff we are pumping in to most all our food, GMO corn products, and GMO soy, it's in almost everrrrrrything we are eating. Read those labels people, read, those, labels!! And read this article ;) and spare yourself.

Phthalates, Hormones, Makeup, Yay!
"A recent study, however, suggests a very surprising cause of early menopause: wearing too much makeup. Yes, it’s true! Makeup can affect your body’s sacred hormonal cycles. Who knew? Many types of makeup contain chemicals called pthalates – a family of chemicals also known as plasticizers. These chemicals are present in a number of petroleum products, and have been found in a number of articles humans use and absorb including makeup, nail polish, household cleaners, air fresheners and food packaging. Along with exposure to phthalates via makeup and household cleaners, packaged foods provide a significant source of phthalate exposure.
According to the study, women with the highest levels of phthalates in their urine went through menopause an average of 2.3 years earlier than their lower phthalates counterparts, and some women were going through menopause as early as 15 years prematurely.
Dangers of Phthalates
According to the Environmental Working Group, phthalates present a number of health hazards to humans, including:- Disrupted endocrine function
- Reduced sperm counts in men
- Testicular atrophy
- Increased risk of liver cancer

Haircolor, Hormones...
Original post date 10/27/08
Well I last colored my hair 7 months ago with all natural henna dye and itwas a pain, on for 2 hrs, I felt like it colored my grays blonde and taht stuff is a bear to get out, it's like dried dirt and it pulled a lot of my hair out with it. Since thyroid issues, from both the imbalance and my med which can cause hairloss, gotta ask the dr about that, I lose way too much hair when I shampoo. And now my ponytail's about half as big as it was.... kinda scary, I used to have annoyingly thick hair, as in I bought my own thinning shears, and now it's I thinking, ok scary, I can wrap the rubberband around more than once here. So anyway after reading how the haircolor you buy at the store is HIGH hazard, pretty much all of it, otherwise I would've colored by now, I researched and found this ecocolors brand. Here is a blog entry I found interesting too while researching. http://organic-skin-care.blogspot.com/2006/06/ugly-side-of-cosmetics.html. So if you care about haircolor toxicity check out the info, I personally don't need anything harsh causing anymore of my hair to fall out. And just check the database in my fyi section and search haircolor if you want to know the ugly truth about the stuff on the shelves.
*update: my hair is much thicker, hormones balanced I would imagine. Since we are talking about hair I will throw this out there in case it helps anyone. About two and a half months after I had my last baby, I was started dropping hair like CRAZY!!! I even posted pics on facebook to freak people out ;) wads and wads one night. If you're freaking out about postpartum hairloss, it WILL stop in a few months and it will grow back, sure it looks kinda weird with all these little short hair growing back in but they are a welcome sight. Another thing related to hormones. Around the same time I also developed a case of hives that lasted 7 weeks. So if you are freaking out about that, maybe knowing this could help you. There were huge huge hives. It was so strange, but they went away...I know they say 6 weeks is an acute case and beyond that is chronic. I have my whole life gotten the random little hive, but these were huge, inch or 2 in diamter. So if it helps anyone freaking out like I did. good.
