Nail polish is one of my pet peeves, especially when I see it on the fingernails and toenails of little girls.
Your nails are not impenetrable barriers. They're porous. Chemicals painted on your nails and your little girl's nails can be absorbed into your bodies.
One of the main dangers of nail polish is the chemical class, phthalates. These chemicals are classified as possible carcinogens by the EPA. They're also mutagenic. In other words, they can cause genetic damage which may lead to cancer or other diseases. Phthalates can also cause liver, kidney and lung damage. They're suspected of being ...

Will the real organic body care products please stand up!
A lot of products are marketed as organic these days because consumers want more organic products. But don't believe the label. There are a number of products on the market that say "organic" on the label, but that not only are not organic, but they also contain the cancer-causing contaminant 1,4-dioxane.
This cancer-causing chemical may be found in products with ingredients like "polyethylene," "polyethylene glycol," "polyoxyethylene," "oxynol," or those that end in "-eth," or contain "PEG" in the name.
In addition, many so-called "cheater brands" claim to be organic when they may have only a token organic ingredient or none at all. I was in a department store with my daughter a couple weeks ago and there was a display of large bottles of a body care product with "Organic" in large letters on the front of the label. I looked at the list of ingredients in the product. There was not one single ingredient in that product that was organic. There wasn't even a single herb or ingredient that even sounded like it might be natural. It was totally, 100% synthetic chemicals!
If the front of the label is all you look at when you buy body care products, you will be fooled most of the time because there are not that many honest brands on the market. To get truly organic products, you must read the ingredients list, in the tiny print, on the back of the package.

Finally the FDA has admitted that triclosan in soap and body care products is a cause for concern. It's finally being addressed, not only for its contribution to antibiotic resistant bacteria, but also for its long-term health effects. In addition, the FDA admitted that antibacterial soaps are no better than plain soap.
Shampoo ingredients are most likely the last thing on your mind when choosing your shampoo. You're probably most interested in what the shampoo is going to do for your hair. How soft, silky and shiny will it make your hair look? Does it make it look healthy? What about repairing damaged ends? Will it make your hair look thicker? Will it give you great looking hair like those models you see in the TV commercials?
These are the kinds of questions that the manufacturers have conditioned you to think about. They spend millions of dollars on advertising campaigns telling you all the wonderful benefits their shampoos offer your hair. Reading the ingredients list on your shampoo bottle before you buy is the last thing they want you to do.
Why?
The majority of shampoos on the market contain ingredients that have harmful effects on your body. A number of these ingredients even cause cancer.
Why should you be concerned about cancer-causing ingredients in your shampoo? You only use it on your hair. What's the harm in that?
That's a good question. The ingredients in your shampoo, like in any product you use on the outside of your body, can be absorbed through your pores into your bloodstream. A number of the shampoos containing cancer-causing chemicals also contain ingredients, called penetration enhancers, that increase how much of the ingredients actually get absorbed into your body.
Here's a program that will help you get get on track and eliminate all those chemicals in your cosmetics and personal care products that are destroying your health - in 100 days.
