Why are parabens bad?

Why do we continue to use cosmetics, toiletries & cleaning products with chemicals like Parabens & SLS?

  • And why don't manufacturers use different ingredients...Why don't EU, US standard authorities prohibit this use and why are we under the impression that the few mainstream products out there that are free from this crap are hugely expensive...?

  • Answer:

    I use usda organic "coconut oil" when I shower.. no SLS or any of that junk in my oil when I shower with it daily! + I have a shower head filter! and my tooth paste? is from tropical tridtions! the company is anti-gmo! very big on organic! and it contains nothing bad.. amazon sells their coconut oil tooth paste! great stuff! the coconut oil got rid of my bleeding gums (and boy they would gush!) its been 3 days now but I think its gone! REAL usda organic coconut oil is anti-viral anti-bacterial anti-fungal anti-inflamatory anti-oxident and anti-cancer :) in lab animals they can't get the cancer cells to form WITH toxic chemicals! so.. yeah :) its healthy stuff! + on toilet paper it kills the germs and I dont get UTI infections anym-more like ever :) its healthy stuff! must be 1. organic 2. glass jar how healthy is it? 12+ years of acne is gone oily skin since age 12 is gone no more oily hair no more ringworm no more cyst on butt no more dandruff and my hair wont fall out in the shower.. its healthy stuff! also it kills the germs that make me smell! even my privates are smell free! seriously! its healthy stuff!! forget those crappy hair care and soaps that have a tiny bit of coconut oil I shower with the "real" stuff! all those medical problems gone? and when I eat the stuff? my ibs is now gone! so is my acid reflux and.. i dont get dizzy when i stand up anymore search online for "160+ uses for coconut oil" when you find the link.. take a look.. its good stuff! and yes company's are evil.. with their products.... (some of them) hang out in the "Organic" section.. even at whole foods 1/2 their stuff is junk you really half to read the labels and buy the products that support USDA organic and that are anti-gmo! the "non-gmo" project (its logo is a butterfly on a hair of grass) TRY walking down the soap/dedurgent lane in the supermarket it just smells like "buy me! get sick today!" why is their a contact poison control center right away if swallowed on the toothpaste? maybe cuz crest is poison? hmm? :( my dentist told me if you use that toothpaste too much it will kill you i said how? he said it causes cancer! so I switched to tropical tridtions coconut oil toothpaste! it feels so good after I use it I don't have a urge to spit and rinse like crazy! since its chemical free! amazon.com has it.. Then walk down the ORGANIC soap lane it says.. "this will cost more but will keep you out of the hospital when you get older" it really can be this simple :) when I wash my clothing? soap? tide? are you crazy? no no no! not that crap I use "Nothing" when I wash my clothing... YES! no soap! no harsh chemicals then I put them in the dryer.. surprisingly they don't smell like the swamp thing.. they actually come out clean! really! try it! + its cheaper! no paying bucks full of cash for tide to make me sick? no thanks :) stuff smells like poison already! however you must make sure the washing machine does "wash" and rinse cycle if it doesn't do rinse then the clothing wont feel clean :( Even cereal and food has chemicals.. "except natures path" that one taste like "real" food search for dr mercola he is a guy who is into "REAL" health and wont lie to you" his website has articles on the truth about health.. that no 1 talks about.. do cell phones give you cancer? is wifi bad for you? all this stuff no 1 has a answer to he does :) and remember on a box when it says made with "Natural" ingredients? their is no legal definition of natural so it can mean "it sounds nice on the box but we wont tell you what it is" :( ohh I hate seeing that on the box! its bub-kiss when it says "natural flavors" it means nothing. go usda oragnic on the food, usda oragnic on the dish-soap (7th generation?) and usda organic anti-gmo on the food.. Natures path "organic restraunts" YES! if you go to urbanspoon restraunt website in some states they have a "organic" section! it may cost more.. but the hospital bill you wont half to pay for later will cost a hole LOT more! :) think of it that way.

Simple: Companies use the cheapest way possible to make their products last as long as possible on the shelf. Until the authorities get involved with this (which would mean more medical proof/tests/data) (no matter how much has already been done) then all we can do is choose our personal products, and try to inform the people around us who care. But it is very much more expensive at the register to buy organic products without these chemicals. It can be impossible for some families to spend $35 on bathroom products when $15 is all they can afford every week. Instead of a $7 shampoo, a $4 bottle (with more in it as well) is just more affordable to purchase. In the long run, it is better for a persons health but in the present day- some people just do what they can to get by.

It's pathetic isn't it? All of these government agencies are a monopoly and the conspiracy web they are in is too tangled to explain here. But I'll give you the main picture: There is big business in sickness and disease. The United States Government have a financial obligation to keep the general public sick and keep them as lifelong customers to the pharmaceutical industries. So, they attack the non-suspecting consumer with the unimaginable; ranging from food, perfumes, cosmetics, genetically made vitamins, shampoo, conditioner, body lotions, like I said, you name it. I'll give you an example. Skin Cancer and the use of sunscreen. Did you know that skin cancer rates have SKY ROCKETED THROUGH THE ROOF since the invention of sunscreen? If you swallow sunscreen or any of the ingredients in it, you will absolutely, positively DIE. So.. WHY would you put that garbage on your skin? Your skin is the largest organ on the body and any crap that you put on your skin will be absorbed and go straight to the liver and poison you. And the argument of skin pigmentation shouldn't even come up. Skin color has nothing to do with a persons chance of getting skin cancer. Interesting fact: Did you know that in tropical islands, and countries where the suns rays are the HIGHEST.. there is no reports of skin cancer? Only in the USA. The diseases we have here are literally unheard of in other countries. And also studies now show that the use of commercial deodorants have been linked to breast cancer. Yet, people still buy it. If you want to be healthy, here is the general rule: READ THE INGREDIENTS AND IF YOU CAN'T PRONOUNCE IT OR WOULDN'T PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH, DON'T PUT IT ON YOUR SKIN! Once you start getting sick from these products, the charlatans sitting at the pharmaceutical industries and FDA are smiling because now they have you in their grasp and you will be a customer to these pigs for the rest of your life. And don't take my word for it. Read natural health articles, or better yet, read Kevin Trudeau's book "Natural Cure's "THEY" Don't Want You To Know About" Diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and all of these other weird diseases are man made and caused by the food you eat and the garbage you put on your skin and your lack of political vs health knowledge. Glad I could explain some things :D And Mr. is correct, coconuts are the shizz. I lost weight and got rid of my stretchmarks using it!
