transfer buying

Here are some examples of potentially harmful ingredients common in household cleaner, laundry soap, dish soap, & even things like leather cleaners.

• phthalates (thalates) are possible endocrine disruptors that can change hormone levels & cause birth defects. They can interfere with the intellectual development of babies & children, & may cause preterm labor. They also have been shown to be associated with allergies, insulin resistance, diabetes & obesity.

• triclosan has been associated with higher rates of allergies to both food & skin allergens. It can increase & decrease both estrogen & testosterone, & is known to pass into blood, urine & breast milk. Even worse, it can react with free chlorine in our water supply & form a by-product that when exposed to the sun is converted into dioxins, & dioxins are know to be toxic to mammals, birds, & fish.

• 2-butoxyethanol (bu-tox-zi-eth-an-ol) BCEE has been shown to cause skeleton defects in the fetal rats, & can inhibit coordination.

• perchlorethylene (perc) is a central nervous system depressant, & is a class 2 Carcinogen .

This is just the very surface of the bad stuff found in our common cleaners!

Chlorine, ammonia, quaternary ammonia compounds, & sodium hydroxide are all very irritating to the skin & the lungs, & may have other harmful effects on the
body.

Of all the health changes to make- this is the MOST IMPORTANT- Kick “fragrance” to the curb

When you see ‘fragrance’ on a personal care product's label, just read it as ‘hidden chemicals.’ Why should you care? This is a major loophole in the FDA's federal law that allows manufacturers to include nearly ANY ingredient (even toxic ones) in their products under the name ‘fragrance’ without ACTUALLY LISTING the chemical. just keep re-reading that until it sinks in. THAT IS RIDICULOUS.

OKAY, let’s dive in. First let’s start with the bad news & then work our way to  the SOLUTIONS. Did you know that the average home contains cleaners,  personal care products, & foods that contain harmful chemicals that cause a wide variety of harm from hormone disruption, to allergies, to potentially even cancer?

You may be surprised to learn that 93% of all poisonings occur in the home - not in industrial settings, as you might expect. Most poisonings involve everyday household items such as medicines, cleaning supplies, cosmetics & personal care items.

In 2010, the World Health Organization released a report which states that every year indoor air pollution is responsible for the death of 1.6 million people. It claims that 90% of chronic illnesses are related to environmental factors. Less than 2% of the 80,000 known household chemicals have been tested - & shockingly, many of them contain known neurotoxins.
  
We need to make sure that we have a home that supports our healthy body, & we can only do that by addressing what is in common cleaners, soaps, detergents, & personal care products around the house.
