Talk a little bit about the significance of that social and historical context?

Talk a little bit about the significance of that social and historical context?    We looked at douches, feminine wipes, sprays, tampons , pads, and we found that the practice of douching was associated with higher phthalate levels in your body. The more you’re douching, the higher levels. Statistically, the ratio of ethnic differences and douching explain the differences in phthalate levels.  It kind of connected the dots, but then a lot of the response was, like, “Well, you know douching is discouraged by doctors, right? Why? Why are Black women still doing it?” And a lot of the reporters are almost vilifying the users. Like, “Why are they still doing this practice that isn’t that is not medically necessary?” So it seemed like the social and historical context is really important.

Residents clear debris after Hurricane Idalia in Perry, Fla., on Wednesday.Telemundo

  Residents clear debris after Hurricane Idalia in Perry, Fla., on Wednesday.Telemundo "This is where all the immigrants that the governor wants to push out are needed," Maggie Vidal told Noticias Telemundo in Spanish. "Who is going to do all of this work? There is a lot, a lot of work here." Maggie Vidal was referring to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ stringent immigration law that went into effect July 1. The law, also known as SB 1718, imposes restrictions and penalties to deter the employment of undocumented workers in Florida. The law makes it a felony to “knowingly and willfully” transport an undocumented person into the state (including relatives and acquaintances), invalidates out-of-state driver’s licenses issued to immigrants who lack legal status and requires hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask about immigration status (though patients may decline to answer the question).
