Someone tried telling me that this is true. I see where they had a study that said it 'may' cause it but nothing even close to conclusive. Anyone support or oppose this study? Just curious, my wife believes it because her mother told her it was true who is Jehova's Witness. I think she's just overly paranoid and quite obviously subject to misdirection through words.

Lavender is soothing. You can't "make" someone gay or feminine. I did find a source that said lavender and tea oil caused gynecomastia in 3 boys. 3 is a very small number. I would check the package because a lot of these product don't actually contain the "oil"; it's an artificial scent. Sounds to me like a mountain out of a mole hill.

oh of course not--lavender calms the kid down to make him sleep better (its a natural herb) next shes going to say not to take aspirin because it might turn you into a drug addict.

do not tell your wife this--but Jehova's Witnesses are overrated. I am a christian--and i can tell u that nothing manufactured can make ur kid gay. i have had the opportunity to speak with several people in my community who are gay--and in every circumstance, something happened to them as children with other people of the same sex.

It doesn't make them gay. Would walking by while a girl sprayed perfume and you got hit make you gay? Lavender baby soap (usually packaged as a bedtime baby bath) has a very soothing sent that will generally help calm a baby and help thim sleep. Soap making someone gay. Thats hilarious. Just thinking about how many times my husband has run out of his soap and has to use my sweet pea and lavender body wash. Absolutely hilarious. BTW- if you do have a link to that study, would you mind emailing it to me? I would love to read it.

And pop rocks and coke will make you explode
