&lt;p&gt;Thank you for pointing out that synthetic fragrances contain phthalates and also that people should avoid using synthetic fragrances in general. Also, please keep in mind, it is not simply the primary user who can be adversely affected by these volatile toxins, but everyone within breathing range. And thanks in part to phthalates, the scent (the chemicals) from fragrances can last on the ambient air for hours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Petrochemically derived flavors and fragrances are added to commonly used personal care products, cleaning and maintenance products, to &amp;quot;environmental enhancement&amp;quot; products, to your food, and to your drugs which in turn are also petrochemically derived. (No wonder my body cannot tolerate drugs.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When people are allowed, or encouraged even, to use fragrances in the workplace, to their doctors&amp;#39; offices, in schools, the theater, restaurants (WHY? Why spoil another&amp;#39;s sumptuous meal with your scent?), they are contributing mightily to indoor and outdoor air pollution. Just because it isn&amp;#39;t talked about, isn&amp;#39;t thoroughly investigated, doesn&amp;#39;t mean it isn&amp;#39;t so. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants would be a lot healthier if we were not so reliant upon artificial flavors and fragrances, pesticides, etc. If you really want to &amp;quot;green,&amp;quot; even the US Dept of the Interior tells you, the product &amp;quot;must not contain petrochemical-derived fragrances.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All it takes is a little research of fine sites like Dr. Mercola&amp;#39;s, and you, too, can be living healthier lives by learning to read labels and leave the products bearing the benign sounding words, &amp;quot;fragrance&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;flavor&amp;quot; on the shelf. We can &amp;quot;vote with out pocketbooks&amp;quot; as my mother used to say. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We ALL are stakeholders when it comes to breathing!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To make something its not or make it less expensive to deal with, yes?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are only 112 elements which drive the cycles of life, some of &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;those elements have many isotopes, sulfur has 146. &amp;nbsp;To imagine these &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;elements could become less bio available seems reasonable because&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it happens every day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our 80 year olds are not suffering from what ever could have happened&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in the womb, we regenerate the cells of our body within seven years save&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;for bone dura. &amp;nbsp;So what the chemists did to us in the womb is being addressed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;with Organic Sulfur alone. &amp;nbsp;No ED drugs nor vaginal lubricants needed by our&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Study Members. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The body human is a constant state of cellular regeneration or degeneration,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;stem cells work very well when all of the elements needed for cellular &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;regeneration are bio available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are we so lazy that slow poisoning is the suicide which is painless?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;News flash: &amp;nbsp;Cellular degeneration is the most painful death, slow torture.&lt;/p&gt;
