Fw: Fw: Check your shampoo

 

 

 

Read this!

 

Take your 1st action when you reach home today. Check your shampoo!!

 

 

Please read the message carefully. Go home and check your shampoo.

Change it before it's too late...

 

Check the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see they have

a substance by the name of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or simply SLS. This

substance is found in most shampoos, and the manufacturers use it

because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap. BUT the fact is that -

SLS

is used to scrub garage floors, and it is very strong!!!

 

It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run, and this is

no joke. I went home and checked my shampoo (Vidal Sasoon); it doesn't

contain it; however, others such as Vo5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, the

new Hemp Shampoo from Body Shop etc ... contain this substance.The first

ingredient listed (which means it is the single most prevalent ingredient)

in

Clairol's Herbal Essences is Sodium Laureth Sulfate. So I called one

company,

and I told them their product contains a substance that will cause people

to

have cancer.

 

 

They said, Yeah we knew about it but there is nothing we can do about it

because we need that substance to produce foam. By the way Colgate

toothpaste also contains the same substance to produce the "bubbles".

they said they are going to send me some information.

 

Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer is 1

out of 8000 and now, in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1

out of 3, which is very serious. So I hope that you will take this

seriously

and pass this on to all the people you know, and hopefully, we can stop

"giving" ourselves the cancer virus. This is serious, after you have read

this, pass it on to as many people as possible, this is not a chain letter,

but

it concerns our health.
