I knew I was probably not too far from man-uppose, 94 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,760 but it still didn't seem quite right. 95 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:20,760 I went and saw the gynecology surgeon. He was sitting at his desk with a pathology report. 96 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:30,760 Being a health care professional, I just took one look down and I could see bilateral, carcinoma. 97 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760 This can't be right. 98 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:39,760 And the doctor said, I didn't expect this.

I went to the ovaries of lopium tubes. 106 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,760 My belly started growing. 107 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:27,760 It was the most uncomfortable feeling. It got to a stage where I couldn't bend. 108 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:34,760 I went to a hormone specialist. I said, what's that? Oh, my knees are you feeling okay? 109 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,760 I said, I feel fine. There's no warning with a very incancer. 110 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,760 When you do get the symptoms, it's too late. 111 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,760 When they found it, I had spread everywhere. 112 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,760 It's like it's the end of the world. 113 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,760 The doctor put in a needle right through the skin under my abdomen. 114 00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:01,760 Greenish liquid poured out of me into six one-leaf bottles. 115 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,760 The only thing came to my mind. I'm not never going to reach 15. 116 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,760 And that's how it started. 117 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,760 You're going to have to have chemo, which my heart falls the ground. 118 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,760 My normal life stopped that day. 119 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,760 In the handouts the doctor had given me. 120 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,760 There was a book from the Guilneradneur Association. 121 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:41,760 And in the back of the book, there was different causation factors. 122 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:48,760 And I was reading through them and I said, well, I had children, so that's not a factor. 123 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:54,760 There's no cancer in my family. At that time, I wasn't be so overweight. 124 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,760 I had never used birth control pills. 125 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:07,760 I kept reading and I said, tell com powder. What? Tell com powder? 126 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,760 Ever since I was a little girl, Johnson's baby powder is made me feel soft, fresh and love. 127 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,760 Johnson's baby powder keeps anybody's baby smooth and fresh. 128 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,760 Picked up to tell com powder, baby powder, shower to shower, looked over the labels, 129 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:33,760 and there was nothing even stated on the bottles at all that there was any risk of cancer. 130 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,760 That's what I'd been using since I was about 16 years old. 131 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:43,760 And never thought that there would be any danger in it. 132 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:57,760 I used Johnson's baby powder in my mom. 133 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,760 The women in the house were baby powder ladies. 134 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,760 My mom used it on me as a child and as a baby. It was a nice smell. 135 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,760 It made me feel fresh. It made me feel good. I felt clean. 136 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:14,760 I was using Johnson and Johnson shower to shower and baby powder as a deodorant. 137 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:22,760 It was putting in my bed before we go to bed because I liked the smell of baby powder. 138 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:34,760 And I had no idea that there was something in the product that could be harmful. 139 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,760 How long has your use body powder slept all my life? 140 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:49,760 Because you want to be fresh and we need to set the take-out film. 141 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:56,760 And what type of baby powder would you use? Johnson and Johnson. 142 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:19,760 I think having makeup is just an extra layer of security. 143 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:30,760 If I was going to interview, I would want that extra layer just to know that I don't have to worry about my flaws showing. 144 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:46,760 Even though maybe other people wouldn't see it, there are just things that I would notice about myself and would make me more self-conscious. 145 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,760 I think overall makeup just boost people's confidence. 146 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:13,760 I really think that makeup has been ingrained so much into our culture. 147 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:21,760 If you're in a group of friends, then everybody put on all their products and you're the only one who didn't put on anything. 148 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,760 It's kind of awkward to be the odd one out. 149 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:39,760 But you said primer, you said moisturizer, primer and foundation. 150 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:47,760 I went to an all-girls high school, so I think this topic was actually pretty common at my school. 151 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:55,760 So when I do see like advertisements first or anything, I just see the use female and sexualizing videos on commercial. 152 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:01,760 I think this person is beautiful and they're using this product. 153 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,760 I'm going to use this product as well. 154 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,760 We shouldn't be telling girls to stop using products. 155 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:20,760 We should be telling the government and regulators and companies to be able to use this product. 156 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:27,760 We should be telling the government and regulators and companies to stop creating toxic. 157 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,760 I'm going to be studying medical school in the fall at Boston University. 158 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,760 I wanted to work with Dr. Mahalengaya. 159 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:57,760 Because she is a reproductive endocrinologist. 160 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,760 It's great to be here today. 161 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:05,760 A lot of Dr. Mahalengaya's work is on environmental exposures and reproductive disorders. 162 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,760 Today's talk is going to go over trends in human fertility. 163 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,760 We'll spend a little time on definitions because that's really important as you're thinking about study design. 164 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:23,760 I like to hear as a mentor in the past. She's looked at environmental toxins or exposures on the prenatal period. 165 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,760 One of my concerns is stemming from the interconnectness of our environmental exposures. 166 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:44,760 Could we be exposing our gametes that egg in the sperm or our embryos to potential toxicants throughout the life course? 167 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:52,760 Remember when I wanted to throw that out of Era? Why do you want to keep it? 168 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,760 What color do you like the most? 169 00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,760 I like natural ones that are natural colors for your face, but... 170 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,760 Can you show me the natural colors? 171 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,760 They're just like the colors, the skin colors, but... 172 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,760 Oh. 173 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,760 So I've weeded out a tremendous amount. 174 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,760 But this is what's left of my makeup. 175 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:23,760 This is supposed to make your skin look bright. 176 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:32,760 And I also think that's probably an estrogen type effect on healthy growing skin. 177 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:40,760 That in addition to other personal care products, the volatile organic compounds that are off-gassing from male polish. 178 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:47,760 Once populations have been exposed and discovery has been made about the associations, 179 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:55,760 we've already lost a generation to that exposure, which might be subtle effects at the level of infertility. 180 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:02,760 Okay, well, here it might be more devastating effects and other aspects of development. 181 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,760 I think we should be concerned. 182 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,760 I didn't start using products until college. 183 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,760 That's when I started having this benign tumor. 184 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:22,760 I have small breast already, so on me, the tumor was really up here. 185 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,760 My physicians would tell me, oh, it's something that just happened. 186 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,760 Oh, it just happened. I'm unlucky. 187 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,760 Yeah, maybe it wasn't because of luck. 188 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,760 It's something I used. Yeah, it's the only tool. 189 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:44,760 So I finally got the tumor removed, but it's just agree so large that now I have a really big scar. 190 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:50,760 And the more I talk about it, it seems like other girls are saying, oh my gosh, I have this tool. 191 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,760 I feel a lump in them. 192 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:58,760 In our 20s, yeah, we have, what is it? What does this cause by? 193 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:12,760 In terms of our fertility, when a compound has an endocrine like activity or is an endocrine disruptor. 194 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:19,760 Any substance that is synthetic that can act like an endocrine hormone. 195 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,760 So the endocrine system has multiple different hormones. 196 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:34,760 Thyroid hormone that comes from the thyroid, estrogen and testosterone are well known, sex steroid hormones. 197 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:40,760 That action, that hormone, your interference, can happen on many different biological levels. 198 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:50,760 And we are finding that many of the synthetic chemicals in personal care products can indeed interfere with hormone action. 199 00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:02,760 In the word, the jaw, the right to know. 200 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:14,760 We have an innocent, proven guilty approach to these chemicals where we put them into use and then we find out later that they're risky, sometimes very risky. 201 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:22,760 We do know that some of the chemicals in everyday products are estrogen memics, or they can distort allergens or affect thyroid. 202 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:30,760 Chemicals like thalates, that's affecting your hormone signaling system. 203 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:45,760 We're trying to figure out if some endocrine disruptor can promote breast cancer or induce breast cancer or other infect on the nigh reglending blockment. 204 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:53,760 A lot of cream like that you're going to put on your skin, have a paraben. 205 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,760 In some of the makeup, you're going to find some paraben and or some thalates. 206 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:04,760 So they are a lot of products that are using those molecules. 207 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:14,760 We think all the hormone disruptors are going to be relevant to all the hormonal cancers, so that includes prostate, testicular, ovarian, endometrial, 208 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,760 and to reproduction and growth. 209 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,760 So this is not just a women's problem. 210 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:40,760 The industrial processes that make some of the additives in something as benign as makeup are the same kinds of processes that are involved in chemical warfare and biological weapons. 211 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:48,760 So it's not like this is a very light topic that it's just like, oh, makeup and let's look beautiful. 212 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:57,760 I'm learning that all of these toxins can cause reproductive harm and effects on menopause and earlier age and menopause. 213 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:04,760 And I'm 24 years old and I know that I want to have children later on, but going into career and medicine. 214 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:14,760 That's going to be delayed and I hope that using these products will all affect my decision to have kids. 215 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,760 How often need you to struggle with your kids? 216 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:35,760 Every day my mother, my sister, and I never will dream about that the power to call the genics long to inner one. 217 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,760 No, there's no warning label on a telepraguarding risks of overriding cancer. 218 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:56,760 I had surely expected a warning label would be placed on teleproducts after the international agency for research on cancer declared to be a possible carcinogen. 219 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:11,760 Even then no warning labels appeared and that's what's prompted me to get involved in this litigation issue. 220 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:21,760 In medical school I was very much interested in obstetrics and gynecology as a specialty. 221 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:29,760 But I always had the intent to go on to get a degree in epidemiology. 222 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:42,760 And when it came time to choose a thesis that is epidemiologic study of some disease or another I chose overriding cancer. 223 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:52,760 Dan is the guy who I consider to be kind of the grand father, one of the grand fathers of epidemiology, which is my field. 224 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,760 An epidemiology, you know, I call as detective people. 225 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:03,760 He was one of the people who published way back in the early 1980s, one of the first papers to link to health and ovarian cancer. 226 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,760 Without him I really wonder if this ever would have been brought out at all. 227 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:15,760 But he'd been fighting it and showing evidence of it for a long time. 228 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:27,760 There had been some suspicion about talcinal varian cancer, but it had not been studied in any sort of systematic way. 229 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,760 Well first I should explain that we decided we would do a case-control study. 230 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:40,760 We would interview women who recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. 231 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,760 And we would ask them a year before your cancer was diagnosed. 232 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,760 What habits did you have and we asked about the talcus? 233 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:57,760 And there was clearly an excess of women who used powders after bathing or showering in their general area. 234 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,760 That translate into an increased risk-fulvarian cancer. 235 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:12,760 Calcus, a mine product, made neesium silacuts. 236 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:25,760 And it occurs more frequently than not, invades what other magnesium silacuts which can include asbestos. 237 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:40,760 The majority of women were actually using Johnson & Johnson, but there's nothing unique about Johnson & Johnson in terms of the talcus talcus. 238 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,760 No, here it is. 239 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,760 Johnson and liability. 240 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,760 And then tears all the plaintiffs and who they're represented by. 241 00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:03,760 Johnson and Johnson and Johnson were both in the same group as Johnson and Johnson. 242 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,760 Johnson and Johnson were both in the same group as Johnson and Johnson. 243 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:15,760 Johnson and Johnson were both in the same group as Johnson and Johnson. 244 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,760 Johnson and Johnson were both in the same group as Johnson. 245 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:29,760 The last two years of a different chemo drug. 246 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,760 Feeling the tumor stick out through your skin. 247 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,760 I mean, you could if you put a few fingers here, you could see underneath. 248 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,760 It's like a iceberg effect. 249 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,760 Most of it is underneath and now the tips are sticking out. 250 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:49,760 It's days at a time where you can't even just drink water without vomiting. 251 00:27:49,760 --> 00:28:05,760 When I was overseas on a military basis, I used the regular Johnson and Johnson baby powder and shower to shower. 252 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,760 How are you, everybody going? 253 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:16,760 Shower and shower each day, I'll keep all her away. 254 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:23,760 I used it on the genital area and under arms and and shoes. 255 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,760 I love the scent for one thing. 256 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:33,760 I think you feel a little more confident. 257 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,760 It's just a frustration. 258 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,760 That is on the level that I don't know. It just paralyzes you. 259 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,760 That level of frustration to know. You did this to yourself, but I know it's not. 260 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:53,760 Logically, I know it's not my fault. 261 00:28:53,760 --> 00:29:01,760 What it boils down to, it's destroying likes when it comes down to it. 262 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:08,760 It's not quite what time I'm alive to be destroyed. 263 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 264 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 265 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 266 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 267 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 268 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 269 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 270 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 271 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 272 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 273 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 274 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 275 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 276 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 277 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 278 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 279 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 280 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 281 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 282 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 283 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 284 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 285 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 286 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 287 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 288 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,760 I'm not sure if you can see it. 289 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:38,760 The way we regulate personal care products in this country hasn't changed since the 1930s. 290 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:45,760 President Roosevelt has endorsed a bill which should be front page news to every consumer in America. 291 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,760 It's purpose is to protect you as a consumer. 292 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,760 From the many dangerous and fraudulent foods, drugs and cosmetics, 293 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,760 still to be found on the market. 294 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:08,760 I don't think it's possible to imagine a worse regulated family of products than cosmetics. 295 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,760 Which is surprising given how intimately we use these products. 296 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,760 The FDA works very hard on drugs, on medical devices, 297 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:23,760 perhaps a little less well on food, protecting people from dangerous materials in cosmetics 298 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:24,760 is not even the back seat. 299 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,760 It's not even in the car. 300 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:38,760 You're expert said when a consumer asks, is this product safe? 301 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,760 Your expert said, I cannot say. 302 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:48,760 I don't believe in saying that everything is just fine, everything is always safe. 303 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,760 Everything is relative. 304 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,760 In some cases, if the advertising is inaccurate, 305 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,760 things like cosmetics, the odorants and hair tonics and so forth, 306 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,760 people might use the product in ways that can injure their health. 307 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,760 In accurate, aren't they actually lying? 308 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,760 When you find a girl whose hair feels like hair, 309 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,760 she probably uses ozone fluid net. 310 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,760 The hair spray that leaves hair feeling like hair. 311 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,760 It's the hairdressers hair spray in the pink and grey can. 312 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,760 This industry, which any time you walk into a store in this country, 313 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,760 is virtually asserting that they can rebuild people with new cells 314 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,760 and all kinds of other very bold claims. 315 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:42,760 The $84 billion domestic cosmetics industry is regulated currently by about a page and a half of federal law. 316 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,760 Really impressive, important and influential members of Congress have tried. 317 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,760 Ron Wyden for more again, tech Kennedy tried. 318 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,760 Every time they've introduced legislation that would require strict regulation of the industry, 319 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,760 the industry has fought it back and has said we will do a better job of regulating ourselves. 320 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,760 We're concerned you to know that young women are using estrogen and hair products, 321 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,760 conceivable latest right in their hair and did that make, in fact, have an impact? 322 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,760 What are our questions we would want to know that, sir? 323 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,760 Well, it's in public domain. 324 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:23,760 It seems to me the FDA is putting its faith in an industry to self-police through a panel called the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. 325 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:34,760 Surprised surprised the industry funded the panel of scientists and they reviewed only 11% of the more than 10,000 ingredients contained in cosmetics. 326 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,760 I'd like to be able to put myself out of a job. 327 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:45,760 That means that we're protecting kids and we're not having to use them to determine whether this chemical is toxic, 328 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,760 which is not of course what industry wants us to do. 329 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,760 They just rather continue to use their product without any regulation whatsoever. 330 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,760 What we're seeing now is there's a whole industry, the product defense industry, which is made up of 331 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,760 for profit corporations that are run by scientists who are consultants and some of these, 332 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,760 I suppose, it thinks, I mean, it's ludicrous. 333 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:11,760 The indoor-tending association is out there saying questioning the science around ultraviolet radiation and skin cancer. 334 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:21,760 Something I've seen is that this manufacturer of uncertainty and trying to show their two sides to every issue around science 335 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,760 degrade all scientists. 336 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,760 It makes it look like scientists are just part of a debating society and they're like lawyers, 337 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,760 but scientists isn't like that. 338 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:36,760 Science is the search for the truth, but hiring people to say something specific, not because it's the truth, 339 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:43,760 but because it defends a product or defends corporation, really does make it hard for all scientists. 340 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:50,760 But the more an ethical part of what we do is use these chemicals before they've been tested for safety. 341 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,760 Did anybody ever ask you to sign a consent form for using these products because they didn't know if it was safe? 342 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,760 Of course not. 343 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:10,760 Labels do not disclose what's in perfume, aroma, fragrance or flavor. 344 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:16,760 Those catch-all terms can conceal a range of potentially hazardous chemicals in the world, 345 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,760 operates with what's called a post-market regulatory system. 346 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,760 That means that the product is put onto the market first. 347 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,760 It's not like you have to test the product first, make sure it's safe, and then it goes on the market, 348 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:35,760 no it goes on the market, and then if there are incidents, that's when the regulatory system kicks in. 349 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:41,760 Nobody's testing to see if that eye shadow has in it what it says it has in it. 350 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:42,760 The first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the first thing I'd like to say is that the 351 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:20,760 because we're talking about thousands of different chemicals, most of which haven't been adequately safety tested. 352 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:24,520 There are really two pressing pollution crises at the moment. 353 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:35,640 One gets a lot of media and that's climate change and deservedly so. 354 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:59,640 I often wonder why this second pollution crisis, this crisis of toxic chemicals in the products that we use every day, why doesn't the second pollution crisis get more attention. 355 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:12,640 Dr. Rick Smith, he is an environmentalist and he's also done of experiment and wrote a book about it called Slow Death by Robert Dug. 356 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,640 I'm starting medical school in the fall at Boston University and the lab. 357 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:32,640 Thank you. The lab that I was working in the past year, a lot of our work is owed to your book and self-experimentation with toxins and seeing the effects on your own body. 358 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,640 Are you going to be doing an experiment on yourself? 359 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,640 I'm doing an experiment on my own. 360 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,640 You're all right. Very good. It's terrible, but that's what I'm going to be doing. 361 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,640 It'll be a bit of an interest. 362 00:38:41,640 --> 00:39:00,640 I'm going to get back to baseline where I'll use no products, take a moment makeup, stop using soap, and then put on all the mainstream products and take the urine test afterwards to see my levels of valiance and pararovance. 363 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:05,640 So all of our experiments mimic daily life. We've done a lot of experiments with cosmetics. 364 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:14,640 We've looked at whether you can increase the level of valiance in your body, the level of pararovins in your body, just by using certain products. 365 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,640 Our bodies are pretty good at getting rid of them on our regular basis. 366 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:27,640 We all have relatively high, relatively constant levels of these chemicals in our bodies all the time. 367 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,640 Which means that we're being constantly re-exposed. 368 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:37,640 So we're kind of marinating ourselves unwittingly in these chemicals. 369 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:48,640 We wrote a commentary to talk about a phenomenon that we call the environmental injustice of beauty. 370 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:59,640 It's really trying to frame this problem of disproportionate chemical exposures among women of color. 371 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:13,640 We further go on to talk about how each of these categories of product use, whether it's skincare, hair, feminine care products, vaginal ducius, and feminine sprays, and feminine wipes. 372 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,640 Use of baby powder in the general areas. 373 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:26,640 We also see differences in skin care products. 374 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:35,640 Skin lighteners are being used by women across the globe. 375 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:46,640 There are cases in the medical literatures of mercury poisoning from skin care products. 376 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:59,640 This preference for your eccentric beauty norms can have really long lasting effects on body image. 377 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:07,640 I'm going to start off this evening by talking about personal care products and about breast cancer. 378 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:13,640 Our breast cancer is not in your disease. It was there in ancient Egypt. It was recorded in ancient Greece. 379 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:20,640 But the rate of increase in breast cancer is absolutely unprecedented. 380 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:27,640 So this is why we actually grow the cells. The human breast cancer cells. 381 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:37,640 And that's how we look at the microscope. But whether they grow it, and whether they grow more with parabens, and without parabens. 382 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:49,640 I've tested all of them individually and in combination, and they can make human breast cancer cells grow and may be able to mimic estrogen action in breast cells. 383 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:55,640 In 2004, we accept the world by showing the parabens could even get into the human breast. 384 00:41:55,640 --> 00:42:03,640 Within these, I think it's study in 2012 in which we fell perven in 1508, 160 samples. 385 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:10,640 And first of all, we didn't find one parabven without five parabens in 60 percent of those samples. 386 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:19,640 Parabens are added to many products to preserve them. Body care products and skin care products that you can buy on the supermarket shelf. 387 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:27,640 I'm actually quite upset by how much I've measured in human breast tissue. 388 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:38,640 One common adage that's at the dose makes a poison. That is not so straightforward with endocrine disruptors, because sometimes you can have different effects at lower levels. 389 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,640 Sometimes more severe effects than you can at higher levels. 390 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:51,640 In utero exposures, our most often linked with some of the most severe effects that we've seen today, as well as effects early in childhood. 391 00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:01,640 Children's bodies work differently. They're smaller. They metabolize things differently than we do. 392 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:10,640 And their bodies are developing still. So when they are exposed to these endocrine disrupting chemicals in our personal care products, 393 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,640 it has implications for that child's future health. 394 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:24,640 What we know is that children who start their periods younger are increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes. 395 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:33,640 And so we really believe that childhood could be a sensitive window of time by which these exposures might be up to the notoriety of the filter. 396 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:39,640 Little girls like to look pretty, but some of mother's good smelling cosmetics might be poisonous. 397 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:46,640 Even simple things like perfume or nail polish can make you ill. 398 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,640 Toxins can have a lifelong impact on children. 399 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:55,640 We've also discovered that extremely low levels of toxins can impact brain development. 400 00:43:55,640 --> 00:44:02,640 Joe Bockin, who's a lawyer at UBC in a friend, he's written a couple books one was called the corporation. 401 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:08,640 And he was interviewing me about how different environmental chemicals impact children go into this literally. 402 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:14,640 And after about five or ten minutes, he says, wait a minute, stop, stop. You do this for a living, right? I said yes. 403 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:22,640 You have kids, yes. Can you protect your own children? No way. There's too many. 404 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:34,640 What have been studying the impact of personal care products and also pesticides on children's brain development? 405 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:48,640 The most important thing is that there are neuro-toxins. For instance, medical exposure is associated with ADHD, so I've been trying to be a bit more productive disorder, which is not quite prevalent in the population. 406 00:44:49,640 --> 00:45:03,640 It's not only chemicals, like manmade chemicals, there's also natural elements, natural substances, like essential oils, for instance, are a big one. 407 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:09,640 An example is lavender oil. It's being used in a lot of products. 408 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:24,640 And it's actually a pretty powerful and the craindest rupture. There's been key studies published of boys growing rust because of use of creams or emotions or oil that were applied to their bodies. 409 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:42,640 Baby boys are very, very susceptible to exposure to estrogenic compounds. Exposure either prior to birth or just after birth can have profound effects on hormonal control of reproduction in men. 410 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:59,640 These companies are telling you, yeah, it's gentle, it's safe. And then you learn 10 years down the line, oh my god, I'm infertile. Why am I infertile? 411 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:11,640 Or oh my god, I have cancer. Why where did this come from? My family doesn't have cancer, no history of cancer. There are questions that should be raised. And we need to find answers. 412 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:25,640 And as your cancer affected your relationship with your family or your friend, get to know you. 413 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:36,640 This is, I don't lose me. But I'm not giving up. 414 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:42,640 My name's Alan Smith, and I'm a trial attorney here in Mississippi. 415 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:55,640 I saw a blog post from a lady named Ingvar that said, I have suffered over in cancer. I have no risk factors other than I'm a lifelong genital talc user that I'll learn from my mother. 416 00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:10,640 And I responded immediately. I've been looking at this issue for four or five years, and I will be more than happy to speak with you. So that's how we started. 417 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:25,640 I'm looking forward to speaking to the Canadian women, because I want them to have hope that they can fight this, that they can live with it, and that we're in this together. 418 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,640 I am John. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Thanks for coming. 419 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:36,640 I always call her Meyer in Brockovich, because she was the ultimate whistleblower. 420 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:43,640 Why didn't this ever come out to the public? Why was there a no notice put on baby powder? And why isn't this talked about then? 421 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:49,640 If this is one of the most deadly cancers for women, why isn't this brought out in the public? 422 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:57,640 I like it. I like it. 423 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:05,640 I went on the National Varian Cancer Alliance site, and I just put on a blog, has anyone else developed a very uncancer from talcum powder? 424 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:15,640 And then Alan Smith, the lawyer that I ended up getting, contacted me. And he said, I think you'd be the good case, because they can't find anything against you. 425 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:23,640 We started the lawsuit, and then Johnson and Johnson of course tried to fight it. They tried to get it thrown out for this reason, that reason, everything. 426 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:33,640 But the judge was a woman, thankfully, and she stood behind us, and said, no, it's got to go to court. 427 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:48,640 I first published my study in 1982, and I did not contact Johnson and Johnson. They contacted me. 428 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:56,640 Dr. Bruce Semple, who was the medical director of Johnson and Johnson at the time, wanted to meet with me, came to Boston. 429 00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:04,640 I think he spent his time trying to convince me that talc was a harmless habit, and I said, well, maybe you just should consider you may need to put a warning label on it. 430 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,640 Or you want to put a warning label on it. 431 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:22,640 I was contacted by a little magazine called Cancer Prevention for primary care doctors. I wrote the little article about why you should warn your patients about talc. 432 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,640 Well, that caught Dr. Semple's attention again in the role of a letter. 433 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:32,640 They encouraged me to limit amount of public discussion to topic. 434 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:43,640 I didn't have any further contact with them. I think they kept track of what I was studying and my papers on the topic. 435 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:51,640 We're talking about a product named Baby Powder. It's not just talc. It's 99% talc, which is course in the agenda. 436 00:49:51,640 --> 00:50:01,640 It has as best as Senate, which is course in the agenda. It has heavy metals in it, which are known course inagens, and it has silica in it, which is a known course inagens. 437 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:12,640 So, I like in Baby Powder as a delivery device of multiple course inagens, exactly like a cigarette. 438 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,640 The Center for Massage Uses. 439 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:25,640 A technique that has been used to extract ovarian tumor material found talc particles in approximately 75% of ovarian tumors examined. 440 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:33,640 Subsequent evaluations have appeared to support the contention of an association between talc and ovarian carcinoma. 441 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:40,640 J&J, I consider as the ultimate villain in this situation, and I want to say clearly why. 442 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:50,640 After we filed a dingbarge suit and south Dakota in Federal Court, I sent a request for production documents. 443 00:50:50,640 --> 00:51:00,640 My office was stacked with six seven feet high of papers all around my office, and I went through every single piece of paper. 444 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:16,640 It was absolutely shocking internal material. 445 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:32,640 I'm talking about decades going back to the 50s, 60s, that they were seeking a replacement for talc in the 60s. 446 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:38,640 And in the same document, they're admitting that talc cannot be safely absorbed into the jinn. 447 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,640 And so, they're looking for that replacement because of that very reason. 448 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:54,640 They told no one, and then I've seen them go and use their corporate influence to prevent governmental regulation. 449 00:51:55,640 --> 00:52:09,640 Not ever, and tobacco litigation in benzene litigation, not in as best as litigation, has there been an email or a letter, memorializing a conspiracy to this scale. 450 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:21,640 They're going out and having side meetings with certain officials at the FDA to prevent the FDA from regulating their product. 451 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:28,640 If that is not the definition of a villain, I don't know what it is. 452 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:34,640 It was so much information available about everything we come in contact with, some true and some not. 453 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:45,640 It can be hard to know what to pay attention to these days. All of us at Johnson & Johnson deeply sympathize with the women and families impacted by this devastating disease. 454 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:52,640 At the same time, we are guided by the science which supports the safety of Johnson's baby powder. 455 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,640 Toilk causes a very cancer. 456 00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:03,640 Johnson and Johnson has known about this decades, and they were used to do anything about that. 457 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:13,640 So they put me through the deposition, and then we met out in Rapid City, the Western part of South Dakota, and they said, well, we'll offer you 800,000. 458 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:21,640 And I said, well, what about the warning label? I thought this was all part of it. There was going to be a warning label or the product would be taken off the market. 459 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,640 No, none of that. And then I'd have to be silent. Right. 460 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,640 I went out for a walk of my husband at the time, and I said, you know, we didn't do this for money. 461 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:36,640 I said, what about all the other women that are out there? And if I just take money, what good is this going to do? It isn't. 462 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:46,640 So we went back in and they said, okay, 1.3 million. And I said, no. I stood up. I said, I'll see you in court in September and walk out of the room. 463 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:58,640 So, sound spring was founded over 20 years ago by breast cancer activists. 464 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:16,640 We founded as an institute to try to study the links between the environment and women's health. 465 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:30,640 I test people themselves really trying to characterize our exposures, try to develop effective strategies to try to reduce those exposures. 466 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:38,640 Hi, I'm Amy. Hi. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. 467 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:42,640 So thanks for coming to Science Frame and I'm excited to tell you what our study is. 468 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,640 Yeah, I'm a seed. 469 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,640 Okay. 470 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:58,640 Um, basically I wanted to look at the chemical body burden difference between using my normal everyday products versus clean products. 471 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:06,640 So I actually just recently looked at started looking at the ingredients in my shampoos and deodorant, deodorant, so everyone. 472 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:18,640 I'm actually mentioning it, but because I just use it so often and there's aluminum and talc, which I have read in studies that are that can cause breast cancer, very encounter. 473 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:30,640 So if that's in my deodorant, then what else am I using? And knowingly causing harm, what do you think is so key to knowing our chemical body burden? 474 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:36,640 So what we hear is that it, um, we're concerned about exposures during certain time periods in people's lives, right? 475 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,640 So when a woman is pregnant, we're worried about the exposure that might happen in the fetus, right? 476 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:46,640 We're concerned about early life exposures, just some children, because that can affect their development. 477 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,640 But also women who then might be a trial-bearing age here. 478 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:57,640 You can take a year in sample and then put it back into the kit and freeze it. 479 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:07,640 And then once you frozen it, you can then send it back to us in the shipper, and we pull them all together, and then we send them off to lab for the chemical analysis. 480 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,640 Yeah, no, it looks pretty, so I'll explain it to you. 481 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,640 Yeah, thank you so much. 482 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:13,640 You're welcome, see you later. 483 00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:14,640 Bye, bye. 484 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:30,640 So it's day one of my experiment. I'm supposed to be doing a detox day, so no products at all. 485 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:35,640 I just took a shower with no shampoo, no conditioner, no soap. 486 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,640 It was the weirdest thing ever. 487 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,640 It's good or not, using any toothpaste. 488 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,640 Rush got a smell. 489 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:48,640 I can't get the other idea there, and it's 80 degrees outside. 490 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:54,640 So I got a member to say at least like, tell any feed away from everyone. 491 00:56:54,640 --> 00:57:01,640 So I felt really dirty all the time. 492 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:07,640 No, okay, so I can't wash my hands, and people would try to talk to me, and I would just look really awkward, 493 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:12,640 because I'd back away from people. 494 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:17,640 But detox for 24 hours, no use of any products. 495 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:28,640 And then after the detox period, use your normal products. 496 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:33,640 I never thought about the volume of the products that I was using. 497 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:37,640 I browse lipstick shampoo conditioner, shaving. 498 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:43,640 I lost count when I was using them, but I think upwards of 27 products. 499 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:51,640 I'm actually going to look at every single label on every product that I've used. 500 00:57:51,640 --> 00:58:02,640 Just make a full spreadsheet of which products have what, and then create categories on which ingredients show up most often. 501 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:08,640 If I do show a really high level of chemicals, and I don't know, pair of bins, pellets, 502 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:15,640 I really want to look into what disruptions does is cause in my endocrinerate productive system. 503 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:22,640 If I can find enough data, if I can pull enough data to show that these chemicals are very harmful, 504 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:29,640 then I would take it even further, and really tell the public, hey, this is what we're doing to our bodies, and we need to stop. 505 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:44,640 The stories we're hearing about today, about chemical pollution, about toxic plastic waste, about rising rates of cancer, 506 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:49,640 aren't just problems that are happening out here that somebody needs to deal with, 507 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:55,640 but there is close to us as the choices we're making every single day, about the lotions that we put on our faces, 508 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:59,640 and the bubbles that we put in the bathtub with our children. 509 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:06,640 So we started the cosmetics campaign out of a concern about a particular chemical called thallates, 510 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,640 which is linked through a long body of research to reproductive birth defects, 511 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,640 and particularly impacts on the male reproductive system. 512 00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:18,640 We found out in the early 2000s through the Centers for Disease Control, 513 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,640 they started to analyze urine of thousands of Americans. 514 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:31,640 Everyone is being exposed to thallates, but they found much higher levels in women of child-bearing age 20 to 40. 515 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:36,640 The researchers that I worked with had a theory could be cosmetics. 516 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:46,640 So we sent 72 products to a lab. This was in 2002, and found thallates in most of them, two-thirds of the products. 517 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:53,640 And we reported that at a press conference, we actually had a full page ad in the New York Times. 518 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:58,640 The headline was sexy for her, for baby, it really could be poison. 519 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,640 This was a bomb in the cosmetics industry. 520 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:10,640 Nobody had been asking here in the United States about toxic chemicals and cosmetics. 521 01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:19,640 Last week, I got to spend a day on Capitol Hill with a very brave little girl named Eliana. 522 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:24,640 Eliana lost all of her hair, even her eyelashes. 523 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:32,640 You can add pretty much anything to personal care in any amount, and sometimes, as we saw with a popular shampoo, 524 01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:38,640 sold by a celebrity hairstylist, tens of thousands of women in girls lost summer all of their hair, 525 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:39,640 and some permanently. 526 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:49,640 And I was just very, very, very shocked and disappointed that this company that makes so much money off of this product, 527 01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,640 cannot be responsible for what they've done. 528 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,640 And it's sorry. 529 01:00:54,640 --> 01:01:06,640 My family has just seen the worst, my hair falling out, and my husband had to make a difficult decision for him to go ahead and shave my hair off. 530 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:08,640 Sorry. 531 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,640 I would say it was a pretty horrific experience. 532 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,640 It's a product called a Just For Men. 533 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,640 It's their product that's used for beard. 534 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,640 Just For Men, hair and beard get. 535 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:21,640 Be the better man you are. 536 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,640 By this time, I got to bed that night around 10, 10, 30. 537 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,640 The mild itchiness had progressed to an unbelievable itchiness. 538 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,640 You'd make the decision immediately. We've got to go over to emerge. 539 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:45,640 There are certainly acute risks, short term risks from using personal care, whether it's hair loss or burns or contaminated products or products with too much lead or mercury. 540 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:56,640 But there are also chronic or long term risks that have been linked to cancer or infertility. 541 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:04,640 Some chemical, it really not good for some people's skin, but other things okay. 542 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,640 Some chemical is more strong for reproductive health. 543 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:13,640 We have many sisters who work in an cell-on to their problems about miscarriage. 544 01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:21,640 Orita, we're going to get a job because we're going to get a job. 545 01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:29,640 It has only if you use this tool in, it's really harmful for reproductive health. 546 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:33,640 It's healthy shoes.

01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:40,640 I'm so happy. 863 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:41,640 I'm so happy. 864 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:42,640 I'm so happy. 865 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:43,640 I'm so happy. 866 01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:44,640 I'm so happy. 867 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:48,640 Johnson and Johnson had doctors that testified against me. 868 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:49,640 One doctor even laughed. 869 01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:51,640 She's lucky to be alive. 870 01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,640 You are the fact to learn in this case. 871 01:10:54,640 --> 01:11:03,640 That the hard science studies actually show that tell kills, cancerous cells and leaves normal cells alone. 872 01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:08,640 Finally, the jury came back in and the Johnson and Johnson lawyers are sitting there smiling. 873 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:12,640 You're to hear where their notebooks all open and they said guilty. 874 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:25,640 The whole courtroom went silent and then they said, and reward to the plaintiff zero. 875 01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:33,640 I've never heard of a case where a person has been found guilty in a civil lawsuit and then the plaintiff gets awarded nothing. 876 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:41,640 There were some men on the jury that I think didn't believe a lot of it and then the women that were there on the jury made a deal with them to give a guilty plea but then no reward. 877 01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:45,640 Forget the money because it was never about the money to Miss Berg. 878 01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,640 Otherwise, she would have settled her case. 879 01:11:47,640 --> 01:12:09,640 What was very important and what was the of ultimate importance to her was the public seeing the verdict that 12 jurors unanimously said in her home state of South Dakota that Johnson and Johnson should have placed a warning on their product about over-incancer and that her general use of that product contributed to calls are over-incancer. 880 01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:30,640 I believe that part of the reason that Johnson and Johnson now is fighting this so hard is there are thousands of women around the country who have joined in class action suits both here and kind of I sort of remember my first case her last name is Fox. 881 01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:35,640 What do you vote the game for it? 882 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:45,640 To put that there about a game count to hold it, do right? 883 01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:50,640 Do it to be great. 884 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:58,640 She actually died fairly shortly before the trial. 885 01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,640 Thank you so much. 886 01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:06,640 You'll be here if you want to teach me how to write. 887 01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,640 You're telling me. 888 01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:11,640 What was the surgery for? 889 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:18,640 My colonel, my legs clean, and cut my intestines. 890 01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,640 What is the reason? 891 01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:27,640 It was the worst that I've been known. 892 01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:36,640 In a landmark decision, a St. Louis jury ruled that Johnson and Johnson must pay 72 million dollars, including 62 million 893 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:42,640 impunative damages to the family of an Alabama woman who died from ovarian cancer. 894 01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:48,640 How old fight was for not just for her? 895 01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,640 But still many other women? 896 01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,640 Vertics started to come out of the United States. 897 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:08,640 There was a 72 million dollar verdict against Johnson and Johnson in relation to a woman who had developed a very incancer. 898 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:16,640 We've been approached by victims women who used Johnson and Johnson baby powder over a long period of time. 899 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,640 And these women had developed a very incancer. 900 01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:26,640 I know it takes a lot of courage to come forward and to kind of talk about what's happened to you. 901 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:30,640 And so we really appreciate you being here and sharing this. 902 01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:35,640 And as you said, Dean, it's embarrassing to tell your story sometimes. 903 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,640 And one for judgment of others. 904 01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:42,640 And two because you think, oh no, I did something wrong to myself. 905 01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:48,640 I don't want any more people to have to go through what we've just talked about. 906 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:52,640 I don't want anybody
