Report: Shampoo Scents Make 3 Boys Grow Breasts

[jazz lady]

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.

The federally funded study comes from the University of Colorado and the National Institutes of Health and is reported in the latest edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Three boys, ages 4, 7 and 10, developed the condition while using products containing lavender and tea tree oils. All three were normal again when they stopped using the product with the natural oils.

Hormone experts advised parents to consider the possible risk. But because the condition appears to be rare and temporary, they're not suggesting a ban on sales.

That is the most ignorant thing I've heard all day. A FEDERALLY FUNDED study based on THREE people???????

There used to be a time when science was about knowledge, not about grant money. This stuff pisses me off to no end.

I like to buy the company and rename the product ShamBoobie. I could sell it to women as an alternative to surgery. I'd be rich!

Those boys are going to grow up to be very "sensitive" men.

Remember a shampoo that used to be on the market designed for freshly permed hair? It was called "Perma Soft".

I'm sure that that product wasn't used by too many men.
