In Europe, there are 1,373 chemicals
banned from cosmetics. In the United States, there are 8.
Formaldehyde, known to cause cancer in humans, can be found in nail
polish, hair gel, shampoos, and lotions. Triclosan, which disrupts
the body's natural hormone system, can be found in soaps, deodorants,
and toothpaste. Parabens, found in breast cancer tumors, can be found
in many lotions and ointments. In the USA, there are no laws that
require cosmetic companies to demonstrate the safety of their
products. Sources for this information include FDA.gov,
BreastCancerFund.org, and USDA.gov.
Yes, the video is quite disturbing. We have to be proactive and read the ingredients in soaps, deodorants, and toothpaste. Better to be alive than sorry.
