Other than the unsourced article you linked, do you have any evidence of this? Because that thing is just somebody's opinion.
like a peer reviewed journal claiming this? naw. here is another artical breaking down whats in them though:
Quote:
SODIUM POLYACRYLATE, which is linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome and can therefore no longer be used in tampons, is the super absorbent gel in disposable diapers. You can find the little "gel balls" on the skin of your baby's bottom. It is interesting to note that employees in factories manufacturing sodium polyacrylate suffer from female organ problems, slow healing wounds, fatigue and weight loss.
TBT (TRIBULYTIN) In May 2000 Greenpeace found TBT in PampersĀ® Baby Dry in Germany. TBT is one of the most toxic substances ever made. It harms the immune system and impairs the hormonal system. There is speculation that it could cause boys to become sterile.
DIOXIN Traces of the carcinogen Dioxin have been found in disposable diapers. Dioxin causes liver disease, immune system suppression and genetic damage. It is a byproduct of bleaching with chlorine gas and is banned in most countries. Unfortunately, the USA still allows it.
ASTHMA In 1998 a study showed that childhood respiratory problems, including asthma, might be linked to inhaling the mixture of chemicals emitted from disposable diapers.
found here
it includes a reference from a greenpeace study as well, although no link, so i suppose they could be lying to me, but they don't have any reason to do so. i choose to believe them.
you don't have to believe me but unless you can prove that these ingredients aren't in the average disposable diaper, then i will choose to assume that they are.
is that following a sound scientific method? naw. is it good enough for me? yup.
