RFK Jr signed order withdrawing rule that would mandate testing for the cancer-linked toxin in talc-based makeup
The Food and Drug Administration is poised to kill a proposed rule that would require testing for toxic asbestos in talc-based cosmetics, a problem that has been linked to cancer.
Talc is widely used, including in cosmetics, food, medication and personal care products. The order was signed by health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, leader of the “Make America healthy again” (Maha) movement.
A stated cornerstone of the movement, which helped propel Donald Trump to office, is to help eliminate toxins like asbestos from food, medicine and personal care products. The move has shocked health campaigners
“Nothing could make America less healthy than having a cancer causing product in cosmetics,” said Scott Faber, vice-president of government affairs with the Environmental Working Group non-profit, which has lobbied for stricter regulations around talc. “It’s hard to understand why we would revoke a rule that simply requires companies to test for asbestos.”
“It’s hard to understand why we would revoke a rule that simply requires companies to test for asbestos.”
It’s really not.
- Testing costs money.
- Sourcing talc with lower levels of asbestos costs money.
- Corporations only care about profit.
- The current admin is corrupt as hell.
Should be why are we allowing them to do stuff like this, how are they getting away with it (who is enabling them), and what can we do to stop them, other than just sitting around until voting day 3 years and change from now.
vote in midterm elections & every other election that you possible can
I ask myself everyday and literally cannot think of an answer.
RFK brainworm is going to kill all of us
kill all of US
It’s not great but a welcome change to bombing innocent farmers half way across the globe.
Thoughts and prayers.
Bruh, how do you think they’re going to distract people from the cratering economy? Trump is already talking about a ground invasion of Venezuela to root out drug dealers or something.
You are missing the point if you still pretend they are stupid (or in this case: brain-damaged). They know very well what they are doing: Screwing you over to increase the profit for their buddies.
MAHA / HAHA!
Someone should ask him to look for a link between asbestos and autism. He’d likely snap rhat up and change positions.
Cool, when are they putting lead back in gasoline
Leaded gasoline is the most effective way to raise the conservative population in about 20-30 years
I would say never because we already solved the problem that lead in gasoline was for but we also don’t need all the coal plants trump is forcing to stay open so…
It’s not the best choice, it’s your only choice!
Nope, stop using cosmetics
Someone didn’t play The Outer Worlds.
Increasing mortality and morbidity is Job One for this administration.
