Killing Her Softly..

When the alarm rings she slowly gets out of bed, turns on the shower and under the steady stream of warm water, she gently scrubs her body with Ammonia, Formaldehyde and Phenol.

Next, she shampoos her tinted hair with DEA and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

Rinsing the shampoo, she applies a good amount of mutagenic DEA & Propylene Glycol and lets it penetrate while she pops the top on the shaving cream and shaves her legs with A-Pinene.

The shower finished, she towel dries and spreads on an even coat of Contaminant, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PHAs) and a dusting of an Asbestos Substance over her skin. She sprays the scented Aluminum under her arms, brushes her teeth with FD&C Blue#1 & Resorcinol, Saccharin, and Fluoride. Then she rinses and gargles with Ethanol and Phenol Alcohol. She combs setting gel through her hair then blows it dry and sprays it with polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP).

Sitting at her vanity, she carefully applies a thin film of Phenol Carbolic

Acid, Dioxin and Propylene Glycol, over her face to reduce the fine lines.

Today, she'll wear foundation and a little FD&C Red #3. And, better add some eye-Iron Oxide for today is a special meeting and a little Toxic and Mutagenic Ascorbyl Palmitate to line her lids and a stroke of Bacteria & Polyvinylpyrrolide (PVP) to her lashes.

A dab of Benzo-A-Pyrene and Benzo-B-Fluroanthene to color her lips, a spritz of her favorite scent, Toluene and Benzaldehyde, and a little Carcinogenic Nitrosamine, NMPABAO on her face arms and legs to block the suns rays and she is set for the day. She looks radiant and healthy.. but her looks are killing her!

If you are wondering if these poisons are being absorbed through her skin go cut open a clove of garlic and rub it on the bottom of your foot and see how long it takes to taste it in your mouth.. about 3 seconds!

What have these product brands exposed her to in a matter of minutes? Read on to learn about what it is that we are really putting on and in our bodies every day.

*Bar Soap has a pH of 9, which removes the protective acid mantle of the skin making it more alkaline and therefore, more vulnerable to penetration. It also contains ammonia, formaldehyde and phenol, known carcinogens and triclocarbans.

*Shampoo contains cocamide DEA, which is associated with carcinogenic nitrosamines and sodium lauryl sulfate, a known mutagen.

*Hair Tint contains quaternium-15, which releases carcinogenic formaldehyde and the carcinogen, phenylenediamine.

*Conditioner contains DEA & Propylene Glycol both known mutagenic carcinogens

*Shaving Cream contains a-pinene, a chemical that damages the immune system.

*Body Lotion contains mineral oil, which, as a cosmetic grade petroleum product, includes the contaminant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAs) known as xenoestrogens that can mimic estrogen in the body.

*Dusting Powder contains talc, a substance like asbestos. When talc was combined with a common air pollutant, benzo(a)pyrene, it induced tumors in 80% of the animals tested. Many scientists believe talc should be placed on the "known carcinogens" list.

*Deodorant has aluminum, which is being tested in connection to Alzheimers.

*Toothpaste contains saccharin and FD&C Blue#1, which are carcinogens. It also contains resorcinol, which can cause a blood disorder (methemoglobinemia), convulsions and death. Fluoride is also a known carcinogen.

*Mouthwash contains 27% ethanol, which is suspected of causing esophageal cancer. It also contains phenol, which can cause fatal poisonings through skin absorption.

*Hair Spray contains polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP) and reports show that it may cause harm if the particles are inhaled. Modest intravenous doses fed to rats caused tumors.

*Skin Moisturizer contains phenol carbolic acid, which can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and death as a result of respiratory failure. It also contains PEG-40, which contains dangerous levels of dioxin and propylene glycol, which studies show can negatively alter brain waves and cause liver and kidney disorders.

*Blush contains FD&C Red #3, which caused human breast cells to grow, mimics the effect of natural estrogen at the molecular level and damages the genetic material of human breast cells.

*Eye shadow contains iron oxide, which is a suspected carcinogen, teratogen or toxin.

*Eyeliner, contains ascorbyl palmitate, and studies suggest that the palmitates are to be considered carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic.

*Mascara may be contaminated with bacteria.It also contains polyvinylpyrrolide (PVP), a carcinogen.

*Lipstick contains paraffin, which is a mixture of hydrocarbons and is derived from petroleum. It is known to be contaminated with the carcinogens, benzo-a-pyrene and benzo-b-fluroanthene.

*Perfume contains toluene, a suspected potent carcinogen that was found in every fragrance tested, and benzaldehyde, which is a central nervous system depressant that may cause kidney damage.

*Sunscreen contains padimate O and the preservative, BNPD, which together create the carcinogenic nitrosamine, NMPABAO.

Well now, isn't that gross... YUK The above was forwarded to me by a friend, pretty amazing. And we all know how things get absorbed through our skin, especially those who use progesterone cream, it's absorbed within a few minutes.

Wow. That's pretty scarey.

Glad I don't use any of that stuff (except toothpaste, still haven't found an acceptable natural toothpaste.) Yikes.

Yeah, it sucks...yeah, I'm scared and wish I didn't suffer from paralysis by analysis...

Bah.. people use that stuff everyday and live long healthy lives.

People smoke cigarettes and live long healthy lives too.

Those chemicals contribute to a variety of chronic and serious illnesses that are running rampant in our society right now.

Using shampoo, soaps and lotions is not even close to the same thing as smoking cigarettes. There's no proven link between everyday beauty products and cancer.

That link is just one example. Don't believe things just because you see them in an e-mail list.

Exactly. Now, if a respected medical journal were to publish such findings, I might believe them. Chain e-mails tend to a) exaggerate the truth of b) flat-out lie.

There are plenty of natural products that don't contain harmful chemical additives. I don't think this is a reason to throw all your beauty products away....of course I think there are plenty of other reasons to do that. :) I just think we should be mindful of the things we put in and on our bodies. Are they good for us? Are they good for the earth? Do we need them to be beautiful women?

Use a Crystal Stick. You won't sweat like a pig. I guarantee it.

The crystal stick prevents me from stinking. But it doesn't prevent me from sweating :-(

It also causes me to break out in a rash under my arms. :-( Darned amazingly sensitive skin :-( So sad, because it works so much better in controlling BO than regular deodorants.

I'm exactly the same, both with the sweating and the rash. I'm not even a heavy sweater, but nothing works for me but an antiperspirant. And even though I don't sweat lots, if I don't use an antiperspirant my armpits get really itchy and uncomfortable. Not to mention stinky.

So when do I get my money back from that guarantee?? (Crystals do jack squat for the sweating...even sitting behind a desk...)

Nothing I saw on that link talked about the potential health affects of aluminum on our bodies. There are many, including increased risk of Alzheimer's. It's not the same as eating aluminum but personally I think it's better safe than sorry.

I wasn't saying that cigarettes are the same as beauty products, I was pointing out that saying "People do X and live long healthy lives" is not a valid argument, because you can say it about a lot of stuff that's dangerous.

"But the association says there's no scientific proof of a link between aluminum exposure and the debilitating disease."

Great, now I'm gonna go the next 3 weeks without washing my hair, brushing my teeth or wearing deodorant. :doh:

Oy. I'll live.

Eek, that is very scary if all that stuff does kill you, but I can't live with myself if I stink, so those two things kinda go hand in hand. I think the most health-hazardous thing is all the worry and stress thinking about all that stuff puts on your body.
