As a wife of a Male Breast Cancer patient and being an advocate for this disease in general, this TURNS my stomach. I too used these products. I also sell Avon and will be more careful with the research I do and provide to my customers....until I stop selling it!!!! I inform my customers about the hazards, I have complained to them (Avon), I refuse to sell certain things. Arggh....Avon says "The Company For Woman".....NOT!! Crock of S#*T!!!! How dare they be aware of these issues and still continue to make them?? How dare they sell breast cancer products and donate to 'the cause' if they are contributing to it. Oh sorry to ramble, I am steaming now! Thank you for the link Sweetie!!>>Believe51
