Commercial brand pads and tampons are often made with harsh chemi- cals and synthetic fibers, which run the risk of harming a wom- an’s reproductive system or inducing other diseases such as heart disease, cancer or organ damage. Seventh Generation is available at Target stores and This is L. is available at Mother’s Market locations. —Sabrina Zamora Students can register for Santa Ana College summer courses, with classes beginning June 18 running through Aug. 12.
