Toxic Products in Our Homes
Products that we are using every day are filled with toxic chemicals. Industry workers are required to wear specail gloves, goggles and respirators when using some of the exact same chemials found in just about every home.
These chemicals can lodge in our Endocrine systems contributing to thyroid problems, diabetes, weight gain, and infertility.
The greatest risk is to fetuses, children, the elderly, and those who are already ill, but these chemicals are threatening the health of everyone - EVERYDAY.
92% of all poison exposures occur in the HOME, involving everyday household items such as: COSMETICS, PERSONAL CARE ITEMS, CLEANING SUPPLIES AND MEDICINES.
EVERY 13 SECONDS A FAMILY CALLS POISON CONTROL OVER AN EXPOSURE TO POISON AT HOME!!!!
MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT THIS IS ONLY IF YOU SWALLOW A PRODUCT!!! NOT SO!!
They also enter our bodies by breathing and by contact with our skin and eyes. Often the poisoning happen slowly over a long period of time by gradual skin absorption or by daily exposure to toxins we breathe in the air.
It is not just cleaners either. The personal care items we put on our skin and hair create toxic exposure through skin absorption. These include toothpaste, mouthwash, soaps, lotions, creams, cosmetics, shampoos, deoderants, and other common products.
~ PERSONAL CARE ITEMS SHOULD PROMOTE HYGIENE, HEALTH AND BEAUTY ~ NOT MAKE US SICK~
THESE PRODUCTS DON'T JUST AFFECT US - THEY CREATE TOXIC WASTE IN THEIR MANUFACTURE AND USE - WHICH GETS DISPOSED OF IN THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE FORM OF AIR AND WATER POLLUTION AND SOLID TOXIC WASTE. NOT ONLY DOES THIS POLLUTION COME BACK TO AFFECT OUR OWN HEALTH , BUT IT ALSO HARMS WILDLIFE.
WHAT CAN YOU DO???
THE FIRST STEP IS TO EDUCATE YOURSELF!!
THE NEXT STEP IS TO ELIMINATE THESE TOXINS FROM YOUR DAILY LIFE.
WHILE CLEANING AND PERSONAL CARE ITEMS ARE NOT THE ONLY SOURCE OF OF TOXIC CHEMICALS IN YOUR HOME, THEY ARE AMONGST THE MOST TOXIC AND DEADLY. FORTUNATELY THEY ARE ALSO THE EASIEST TO REPLACE!!!
ENJOY YOUR HEALTH !!
