Hi!
Hope this is not off-topic.  I found this study interesting in light of the
discussion we had been having regarding the safety of using hair dyes while
nursing.  An article in the current issue of the J of the Amer.
Pharmaceutical Association discusses high lead levels that are found in some
hair dyes.  The URL of the article I read is:
http://cnn.com/HEALTH/9702/04/hair.dye/index.html.  Blood tests were not run
on participants in the study to determine how much of the lead was absorbed
into the bloodstream.  Interesting!
~~~~~~~~~~
Warmly,   Debbi Donovan, IBCLC
