BOSTON -- Researchers think scented oils that are found in some shampoos, soaps and lotions can cause temporary breast growth in young boys, but only in rare cases.

A preliminary study released Wednesday said the oils appeared to disrupt the boys' hormonal balance.
I love using natural products as I have much less problems with my allergy issues when I use them. I'm so glad I came across this before I started bathing the new baby in lavender bath!!

Many chemicals seem to mimic estrogen in the body; it's a leading theory for the appearance of more and more transgendered aquatic animals. NB: the local6 news story has fallen off their site; type ~scented oils~ in the News section of your fav search engine for links.
