Catherine is right, Most of the stuff I know I learned from her, and
alot of other people on this forum, but the reason it is deemed
unsafe is because scientists extracted cells from a mouse, rat
whatever you want to call it, and introduced a level of lawson that
would be hard to get using just henna. So say you had one hundred
grams of henna paste, and only two percent of that was hennatonnic
acid, thats only two grams of hennatonic acid, so its at a ratio of
1:47 (1 gram of acid per 47 grams of other components in henna) so if
you were to use say a teaspoon of henna, you'd only be getting a
miniscule amount of hennatonnic acid in your body, and since the
hennatonnic acid doesn't absorb that far into the body, it won't
cause any harm. Think about it, I'm sure if rubbing alcohol were to
absorb deep into the body it would cause some harm right? But I
don't think it absorbs that far into the body, so it doesn't cause
any harm.

Just remember if Ignorance were a bliss, the FDA would be in heaven!
