Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Harmful Ingredientshttp://www.something4u.com/nutrition/harm.htm This page contains information about known carcinogens (CANCER CAUSING) and other harmful ingredients that the FDA allows in your home and in your food. Many people do not know how bad these chemicals are. We have become immune to the warning labels. Did you know...chemical manufacturers warn users about these chemicals? ( List of harmful chemicals below) Did you know...when you handle these chemicals you are supposed to wear an appropriate approved respirator, chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and other protective clothing? Did you know...the building you are in when handling these chemicals is supposed to have a chemical fume hood, safety shower and eye bath, inside? Did you know...you are supposed to avoid inhalation, and you are not supposed to get these chemicals in your eyes, on your skin or your clothes? Did you know...you were supposed to avoid prolonged or repeated exposure and wash thoroughly after handling. Did you know...The FDA now allows some of these chemicals in your FOOD!!! The FDA has approved the use of these Chemicals to be used in your home on bare skin yet at the same time OSHA says to work with these chemicals you should be wearing this... And people wonder why Cancer and disease are on the rise! Did you know...In 1901 cancer was considered a rare disease. Statistics show that 1 out of 80 persons had cancer. Today, according to the American Cancer Society, 1 out of 3 people have cancer. Soon after the year 2000, 1out of 2 persons will GET cancer. Did you know... That the journal of the American College of Toxicology reports that Sodium Lauryl (or Laureth) Sulfate (SLS, SLES) is easily absorbed into your skin and builds up in your heart, liver, lungs, and brain... even if you wash it right off after using it! This is the same way that nicotine and medicine skin patches work... Your skin is the largest breathing organ of your body, and many chemicals can ( & ARE) absorbed through it. Your blood cells then IMMEDIATELY take it to every organ in your body... Did you know... The Medical College of Georgia has done testing showing that SLS & SLES forms dangerous levels of cancer-causing nitrosamines when combined with several other common ingredients found in many personal care products. Did you know... Almost ALL shampoos, bubble baths, deodorants, tooth paste, etc. contain chemicals like SLS, SLES, DEA, and PROPYLENE GLYCOL... Did you know... The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was formed in 1936, and they grand-fathered in these potentially harmful ingredients for manufactures to use. These toxic ingredients are cheap, easily diluted & readily available. Did you know...ingredients like Propylene Glycol , Sodium Lauryl (or Laureth) Sulfate (SLS, SLES) & DEA are only a few of the HARMFUL chemicals used in most if not all of your personal care products? You could be using one or more of the cancer causing chemicals (below) that could be damaging your hair, skin and teeth, making you age faster (with health risks). One or more of the following toxic ingredients (below) are commonly used in mouthwashes, toothpastes, cosmetics, bar soap, bubble bath, shower gel, spritz, hair spray, shampoo, sun screens, lotions, colognes, perfumes, etc. natural, alternative, alternative, alternative, alternative, nutritional b-17 Bible, Bible, Bible, bible, homeopathic homeopathic homeopathic alternative medicine malignant melanoma malignant melanoma sickness medicine homeopathic tumor biopsy -- Propylene Glycol Called a humectant in cosmetics, it is really " industrial antifreeze " and the major ingredient in brake and hydraulic fluid. Tests show it can be a strong skin irritant. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on Propylene Glycol warn to avoid skin contact as it is systemic and can cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) Harsh detergents and wetting agents used in garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers, and auto cleaning products. SLS is well-known in the scientific community as a common skin irritant. It is rapidly absorbed and retained in the eyes, brain, heart, and liver, which results in harmful long-term effects. SLS retards healing, cause cataracts in adults, and keep children's eyes from developing properly. Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) SLES is the alcohol form (ethoxylated) of SLS. It is slightly less irritating than SLS, but may cause more drying. Both SLS and SLES cause carcinogenic formations of nitrates and dioxins to form in shampoos and cleansers by reacting with other product ingredients. Large amounts of nitrates enter the blood system from just one shampooing. Fluoride Found in toothpastes. Is not safe-- as noted by the scientific community as a carcinogen. Kills approximately 10,000 people a year (not presented to us by the media). Get the whole scoop on Fluoride. DEA (diethanolamine) Do your shampoos, toothpaste, and bubble baths contain DEA (diethanolamine)? DEA, which is readily absorbed through the skin, is a potentially cancer-causing ingredient found in many mainstream cosmetics and toiletries. Reacts with nitrates in cosmetics to form another potential carcinogen/DEA. Alcohol A colorless, volatile, flammable liquid produced by the fermentation of yeast and carbohydrates. Alcohol is used frequently as a solvent and is also found in beverages and medicine. As an ingredient in ingestible products, alcohol causes body tissues to be more vulnerable to cancers. Mouthwashes with an alcohol content of 25% or more have been implicated in mouth, tongue, and throat cancers. AHA's Alpha Hydroxy Acids, ie. Glycolic, Lactic Acid. *Exfoliates the outer layer of skin exposing fresh, young, immature cells that can easily be damaged by UV rays and other factors that can age the skin or cause wrinkles. *Exfoliates: The scaling off of dead tissue. (Tabor's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary) Aluminum A metallic element used extensively in the manufacture of aircraft components, prosthetic devices, and as an ingredient in antiperspirants, antacids, and antiseptics. Scientific fact: Aluminum is linked to Alzheimer's Disease. (goes right to the brain!) Animal Fat (Tallow) A type of animal tissue made up of oily solids or semi-solids that are water-insoluble esters of glycerol with fatty acids. Animal fats and lye are the chief ingredients in bar soap, a cleaning and emulsifying product that acts as a breeding ground for bacteria. Collagen An insoluble fibrous protein that is too large to penetrate the skin. The collagen found in most skin care products is derived from animal fat and ground up chicken feet. This ingredient forms a layer of film that may suffocate the skin. Dioxins A potentially carcinogenic by-product that results from the process used to bleach paper at paper mills. Dioxin-treated containers transfer dioxins to the product itself. Elastin of high-molecular weight is a protein similar to collagen that is the main component of elastic fibers. Elastin is also derived from animal sources. It's effect on the skin is similar to collagen. Fluorocarbons A colorless, non-flammable gas or liquid that can produce mild upper respiratory tract irritation. Fluorocarbons are commonly used as a propellant in hairsprays. Formaldehyde is a toxic, colorless gas that is an irritant and a carcinogenic. When combined with water, formaldehyde is used as a disinfectant, fixative, or preservative (Funeral Homes). Formaldehyde is found in many cosmetic products and conventional nail care systems. Glycerin A syrupy liquid that is chemically produced by combining water and fat. Glycerin is used as a solvent and plasticizer. Unless the humidity of the air is over 65%, glycerin draws out moisture from the lower layers of the skin and holds it on the surface, which dries the skin inside out. Kaolin A fine white clay used in making porcelain. Like bentonite, kaolin smothers and weakens the skin. Also used in putting out forest fires! Lanolin A fatty substance extracted from wool, which is frequently found in cosmetics and lotions. Lanolin is a common skin sensitizer that can causes allergic reactions, such as skin rashes. Lye A highly concentrated watery solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Lye is combined with animal fats to make bar soaps, which corrode and dry out the skin. Mineral Oil A derivative of crude oil (petroleum) that is used industrially as a cutting fluid and lubricating oil. Mineral oil forms an oily film over the skin to lock in moisture, toxins and wastes, but hinders normal skin respiration by keeping oxygen out. Petrolatum A petroleum-based grease that is used industrially as a grease component. Petrolatum exhibits many of the same harmful properties as mineral oil. -- Click here to check out Neways safe and highly effective ingredients Company Products Testimonies Market Plan -- Back to Home Page Phone 810-743-1306 E-mail info -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
