  Here's one way to answer the carcinogens in your kids' bath products - Amy Graff at The Poop is going "no poo." As in no shampoo. Not a drop of Johnson & Johnson. Not a palm of Head and Shoulders. Graff, who is one of my favorite columnists over at San Fran's main parenting blog, is making a leap that I have to admire. Or hold my nose about. Read More...
