How did you find out? When was the study done that showed that PurLan has this in it? What is BHT? What does it stand for? And yes, I'd like to know if other lanolin products have been found to contain "significant amounts of BHT" as well -- Lansinoh comes to mind, as those two products -- PurLan & Lansinoh are the two that are most commonly used in the U.S. Thanks in advance, Jan Barger, RN, MA, IBCLC, RLC Wheaton, Illinois www.lactationeducationconsultants.com *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
