Household Cleaning Products - What Are They Doing To Us?

Here's what Nancy Green ,author of 'Poisoning Our Children' has to say:

"Household cleaning products are among the most toxic substances we encounter daily. In one study conducted over a 15 year period, women who stayed home all day had a 54 percent higher death rate from cancer that women who had jobs away from the home."

Wow. So just think of what they are doing to our children's little undeveloped bodies.

Here's another quote, this time by the Cancer Prevention Coalition:

"Approximately 70,000 chemicals are now in commercial production, many of which are used in household products. Many of these chemicals accumulate in the human body and cause cancer and other diseases, yet they have been inadequately tested or remain completely untested for their safety. About 600 of these chemicals are KNOWN to cause cancer."

The everyday products you use in your home, unless completely natural or organic, contain chemicals that are absorbing into your child's body, either by skin contact or through breathing the fumes.

So when you dust with furniture spray, glass cleaner, or you polish the floor or the table or clean the toilet, clean the oven, wash the windows, scrub the bathtub, you are subjecting your child to these chemicals each and every time.

We recommend using a totally ORGANIC cleaner. Some SAY they are organic, but how the heck are you supposed to know if it really is organic. Did you know that because of loopholes in the law, companies can use one organic component in a product and advertise it as organic, even though all the other ingredients are synthetic chemicals/

Please. Please.
Go and get the rest of the story here.

Please read and research and help us to spread awareness about the toxins in household cleaning products and how they affect us and our children.
