Most likely b/c it is an independant study.Kim, I had only recently heard and learned about the effects of lavender on pre-adolescent boys. I was speaking with a woman at a workshop whose pediatrician had told her to refrain from using body products with lavender on her son for that was the cause of the enlargement of his breast. It had honestly had stumped me at 1st , but after speaking with the manager at Jurilque about the benefits of biodynamic farming  and blends and what separated their products  from the others  and further began to read various articles that supported the mother’s experience with lavender and her son, I do believe that this is an area that needs further research, but also raises some alarm. Here is another article that I had found on Lavender and its effects. http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200702/s1838208.htm</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reb, unfortunately the report did not disclose the compounds.

I have never heard this about lavender before and would definitely like to hear more. I wonder who funded the study. Lavender has been used therapeutically for centuries. Was it synthetic lavender these children were exposed to? What diets were the kids on? What other environmental factors could the children have been experiencing?I am all for educating when it comes to natural products. I think people tend to think if its &quot;natural&quot; or &quot;herbal&quot; it is safe, which is absolutely not true. Still, the study is flawed and strangely vague. Danelle, have you researched this at all or read anything elsewhere?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study on lavender sounds totally bizarre to me &#8211; lots of holes.
