toxins, toxins, everywhere………………………………

Last fall, I was at a Beauty Counter party at my daughter in law’s house.
I knew the make-up and body products sold were supposed to be safer for human
use than many of the products on the market today, but learned that the United
States has not passed a major federal law to regulate the safety of ingredients used
in personal care products since 1938. I found that stunning. I was aware of the fact
that many chemicals were used in our hair and body products, but not really sure
what they all were.
It reminded me of the awareness I had at a Norwex party several years ago
concerning the toxic cleaning products, as well as the knowledge I have learned
when talking to people that use essential oils.
With all of that said, I am not here to sign you up for a home party or ask you to be a
distributer.
I learned that there are over 80,000 chemicals on the market today, and many don’t
have safety data. Manufacturers are allowed to use their best judgment as to what is
ok to use. Compared to other countries, the US has only banned a slight percentage
of those available for use, by comparison. Because we have the FDA, EPA, and CPSC
(consumer product safety commission) we, as consumers, are under the false
impression that someone is watching out for us…. but quite the contrary is true.
The Beauty Counter products have a list called The Never List…. a list of certain
chemicals that are never used in their products. These chemicals consist of solvents,
disinfectants, surfactants, preservatives, plasticizing agents, softeners, moisture
carriers, pesticides, as well as other unknown ingredients.
The addition of the chemicals cause side effects ranging from cancer to minor skin
irritations; endocrine imbalances, allergies, fertility issues, birth defects,
neurotoxicity and developmental toxicity. Some damage DNA and accelerate the
growth of skin tumors. The most astonishing ingredients are those called fragrances.
Fragrance formulas are protected under federal law’s classification of trade secrets
and they can remain undisclosed.
(I wonder if that is how Secret antiperspirant got its name)
So, with this realization, I searched out other toxic chemicals known to be a
problem, and learned about the Fire Retardant Law for children’s pajamas in mid
1973 put in place by Gov. Jerry Brown. A chemical called TRIS phosphate was used
on the fabric of the pajamas for children age 6 and under to resist the incidence of
sudden igniting of the fabric in the case of a fire. This was soon questioned as to the
safety and two scientists, Arlene Blum and Bruce Ames, performed an experiment
exposing bacteria to TRIS. It was discovered that the DNA of the bacteria was
mutated, naming the chemical a carcinogen.
The test was called the Ames Test. With this realization, The National Cancer
Institute banned the chemical instantly for use on children’s clothing.
However, the clothing manufacturers sued the government because they had their
entire stock of unsellable products on hand. The ban was overturned, but they
started using chlorinated TRIS. It was really just as dan
