Post subject: Brawny paper towel dye linked to cancer.

Recently some researchers found that the dyes used in the manufacturing of Brawny Designer print paper towels leaves behind residue that causes cancer in lab animals. There is also anecdotal evidence that the residual chemicals can cause blindness and other ailments in household pets. This is another example of a big corporation not caring about the little guy. Please pass this on, if all of us try to fight this and write a letter to the company then maybe we can help. I don't want my pets going blind. Do you?

Hey, anecdotal evidence, thats the best kind. In fact, I have anecdotal evidence that shows that when stupid people jump off a building they turn into leprechauns.

Anecdotal, I may not have paid much attention in my english classes, but doesn't that have to do with short, funny stories? But, like I said, I didn't pay too much attention so I could be wrong.

Did you ever go to your chem classes???? the carbon based ink that brawny uses decomposes when you use common ammonia based household cleaners and the byproduct is cyanide which of course is highly toxic
*sigh* I wouldn't doubt it. It seems that almost everything causes cancer or becomes toxic sooner or later. I remember a couple years ago when they found out that diet coke and a lot of other products containing aspertain (sp?) could poison people.
Edit: It's aspertame, not aspertain. Once again my faulty spelling skills at work.

And yes, I tried to pay attention in chem class, however, I had a german professor that it took over 1/2 of the semester just to be able to understand what he was saying through his accent.

Who washes their pets with paper towels? The worst encounter my dog had with a paper towel is when it passed through him when he ate one with bbq sauce on it.
My dumb mutt, Charlie, got into the trash and ate some paper towels that had previously been used to clean the bathroom mirror. He went blind and a few days later he stumbled on to the middle of the road and he was hit by an Escalade.

Was it Dr. Sinn?? All he did was tell pointless stories.
