As a result of mercury poisoning caused by my dental amalgam I have difficulty in
removing chemicals from my body. Many people will have the same problem although
not necessarily because of their teeth.
Unfortunately we live in a chemical soup
and toxins are everywhere. You probably check the labels on food to see what you
are eating but what about everyday personal products like shampoo, deodorant and
cosmetics?
Do you just assume because they are on sale at your supermarket or drug store they
are safe?
I did but not any more.
You see I discovered that government does not require
cosmetics and other personal care products to be tested for safety. Further, the
industry's own safety review panel has assessed only 11 per cent of the 10,500 ingredients
contained in health and beauty products available in stores today.
On the FDA's website,
it states "Cosmetics and their ingredients are not required to undergo approval before
they are sold. Manufacturers can use any ingredient, except for 10 prohibited substances,
without government review."
So what about the other 10,490?
In Europe laws are much
tougher but even here currently only 1200 toxic chemicals are banned.
Our skin is
the largest eliminatory organ in the body. It is a two-
That means if you put a chemical compound on your skin your body is
likely to absorb it. You've got a lot of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. How
do you think HRT and Nicotine patches work?
Low exposure for a long time for someone
who doesn't remove chemicals well means they accumulate and that leads to health
problems.
The bottom line is the more things you use, the more chemicals you absorb.
There is a non profit, research based, consumer advocacy group been set up called
The Environmental Working Group. It has developed an online safety guide with in
depth information on nearly 15,000 name brand products. The electronic database compiled
is cross-
the
results they found:
linked to cancer.
· 57 percent contain "penetration enhancer" chemicals that can
drive other
ingredients faster and deeper into the skin to the blood vessels below.
· 70 percent
of all products contain ingredients that may contain harmful impurities
such as known carcinogens, according to FDA or industry reviews.
Impurities are
legal and unrestricted for the personal care products industry.
As you can see health
and beauty do not always go hand in glove which is why you need to seek out 100%
synthetic chemical and toxin free cosmetics and skin care products.
Fortunately there
is a range made from purely natural organic ingredients, many of which are Certified
Organic to Food Standards. This means you could even eat them and they wouldn't do
you any harm but please don't take that as a recommendation.
