I am all in favor of safety, however,there is no reason to believe that these products, when applied topically, are unsafe. My friends and I have used these prodcuts for years with no ill effects. WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE MONEY FOR????Your are quoting studies where this drug was injected into pregnant rats and mice in huge amounts rather than being applied topically. I don't intend to eat it or inject it.I want to be free to keep applying it topically without having to pay an arm and a leg. STOP THIS INSANITY. Surely there are serious studies that need to be done. Why don't you look into the cost of some of these prescription drugs and help people instead of spending time on a silly cause that can only make things harder for people. AND YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE DON'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT!

Sincerly,
