Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Hi everyone, I thought this would be of interest, Misty. Everyday products and the toxins contained in them. DOVE BEAUTY BAR: Quaternium 15; Formaldehyde-Carcinogen. Causes cancer, dermatitis, neurotoxin, and sensitzer - poisonous, irritant to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. ButylatedHydroxytoluene, (BHT) Carcinogen. JOHNSON'S BABY SHAMPOO : Quaternium 15; FD & C RED 40: Carcinogen and causes dermatitis. CREST TARTAR CONTROL TOOTHPASTE: Saccharin: Carcinogen, contains Phenol. If you accidentally swallow more than a pea-sized amount of this, you must contact the Poison Control Center immediately. This warning does not appear on the tube. TIDE AND CHEER DETERGENT: Detergent: Can cause temporary respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms include stinging, swelling or redness. Sodium silicate: Can be corrosive. Can cause burns to the eyes and tissue damage to the skin, as well as cause burns to the mouth, throat and stomach if swallowed. Sodium Sulfate: Corrosive: Severe eye, skin and respiratory irritant. Can cause asthma attacks. Thisodium Nitrilotriacetate: Carcinogen Note: Tide powder contains fiberglass. If you use this and your sweaty and itchy, it's the fiberglass in your clothing from the laundry detergent. FANTASTIC, Formula 409: Butyl Cellosolve: Neurotoxin. Eye and skin irritant. Damages central nervous system, kidney and liver. Readily absorbed through the skin. Damages blood and body's ability to make blood – listed as a pesticide. WINDEX AEROSOL GLASS CLEANER: Butyl Cellosolve (see above) Isobutene: Neurotoxin. LYSOL DISINFECTANT: Dioxin; Carcinogen, 500,000 times more deadly than DDT Ethyl Alcohol: Eye, Skin, and respiratory tract irritant. Here is what funeral directors are now saying " The levels of formaldehyde in our bodies have increased so much so that we now only use half the required amounts in preservation " Yuck! Each year nearly 1.5 million accidental ingestions of poisons are reported to U.S. Poison Control Centers. The majority of the victims are under the age of 12 and have swallowed a cleaning or personal care product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
