		Our skins absorb the chemicals we apply. This absorbent exocrine system is also an entryway for chemicals to make their way into the bloodstream. With more than 10,000 man-made chemicals lurking in personal care products, our skin has become an experimental dumping ground. The average person is taking in more toxic chemicals from their environment than ever before and 90 percent of these have never been tested for safety. The chemical compounds that have been studied cause birth defects, genetic mutation and cancer. We often apply these cancer causing products directly to the skin, with little regard for how they affect our short- and long-term health. The good news is that healthy alternatives do exist. Here are some common products that could cause health concerns. Soaps: Popular antibacterial soap ingredient triclosan is linked to cancer and thyroid problems, and has estrogenic and androgenic effects on human breast cancer cells. Additionally, surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate cause skin allergies. Deodorant: The petroleum byproducts and parabens used in deodorant adversely affect the endocrine system of the body. Even worse, the active ingredient in antiperspirants is a neurotoxin: aluminum. By blocking the pores, antiperspirants also restrict the natural processes of the sweat glands, trapping toxins in the body. Chemical-free deodorants work by neutralizing the odor at the source, killing the bacteria that causes it. Lipstick: If it's so important to remove brain-damaging lead from fuel and paint, then why do we openly accept this toxic element on our lips and in our mouths? It has been proved that the average woman in an industrial society will slowly eat seven pounds of lipstick during her lifetime. How much lead, tar, formaldehyde and petroleum distillates is she poisoning her body with while she does so? Mascara: These products are often loaded with aluminum, retinyl acetate, toxic polymers, petrolatum and fragrances that mess with one's hormones. Air fresheners Air fresheners ensure that we come home to a sweet-smelling house and car. They have become essential homecare products and have replaced good old cleaning routines and traditional potpourris and pomanders made of lavender blooms, spices and citrus fruits. No one wants a smelly car or home, but when we think about it, do these easy-to-use air fresheners improve the quality of the air in any way? They are just masking the foul odors, giving us a false sense of sanitation. How do they do that? Air fresheners contain some chemical substances that assault the olfactory receptors in our nostrils, rendering them incapable of recognizing other smells. Not only that, they add a bunch of other harmful chemicals into our homes, deteriorating the air quality further. Look at some of the common chemicals found in air fresheners: Acetaldehyde – This chemical with a deceptively innocuous fruity odor is a known carcinogen. Benzaldehyde – Classified by United States Environmental Protection Agency as a hazardous substance, this chemical smells of almond oil. 1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol – A strong-smelling chemical known to cause kidney and liver cancers. 1,4-Dichlorobenzene – Another carcinogen with a strong smell that can mask other odors by numbing our sensory receptors. Methyl pyrrolidone – featured on the list of Chemicals Known to the State to Cause Cancer or Reproductive Toxicity according to the California Proposition 65. Add to these some petroleum-based solvents and fragrances, and we have a potent concoction of cancer- causing substances, not to mention their role in causing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Alcoholic beverages If you think alcohol consumption in moderate quantities is good for cardiovascular health, it has now been shown to increase your cancer risk. According to a research study conducted by the Boston University School of Medicine and Public Health, alcohol was responsible for over 20,000 deaths due to cancer in 2009. The results published in the American Journal of Public Health (April 2013) shows that even a drink or two a day can increase the risk of cancers of esophagus, colon, rectum and breast. Alcohol promotes the production of stomach acids that can damage the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. The effect is worse in people who already have problems like peptic ulcer. Ethanol in the alcoholic beverages gets converted to acetaldehyde, which causes DNA damage that triggers cancer. It also increases estrogen production and accelerates the growth of liver cells. These could be some of the reasons for the carcinogenic effect of alcohol. Birth control Birth control pills have been implicated in increased risk of breast cancer as well as cancers of the cervix and liver. But these findings were tempered by their effect of reducing the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers. But birth control as a whole – as in not having children at all – also is a risk factor for breast cancer. It would seem that female bodies are hard-wired for the biological processes of childbearing and breastfeeding. Having multiple pregnancies and childbirths, especially before the age of thirty, followed by breast feeding for a year or more significantly reduce breast cancer risks. It has to do with not only hormones but the development of breast tissue into a mature form that is more resistant to cancerous changes. Microwaves: Microwave ovens are popular for reheating, and even cooking, a variety of meals. Thanks to modern science, we can now heat food rapidly, from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes, at most. However, while this might seem like a convenient way to keep up with our fast-paced lifestyles, note that there may be dangers associated with microwaving food. Recent studies show that microwaves absolutely decimate the nutritional value of your food, destroying the very vitamins and phytonutrients that prevent disease and support good health. Phytonutrients (also referred to as phytochemicals) are compounds which help protect plants’ vitality. To understand why and how microwaves destroy these phytonutrients, you have to understand the nature of these compounds. Phytonutrients are very delicate molecules which are easily destroyed by heat. Carotenoids, antioxidants and other molecules like DIM or diindolylmethane (in broccoli) or anthocyanins (in purple corn) are all easily destroyed by microwave energy. Previous studies have shown that as much as 98% of the cancer-fighting nutrients found in broccoli, for example, are destroyed by microwaving. Any cooking will actually change the nutrient component of food in some way, though low and slow cooking seem to preserve the most nutrients. Faster methods of cooking (microwave being the fastest), on the other hand, destroy more nutrients. Candles Candles have lighted people’s homes for centuries since they were first made by Romans and Egyptians. In this age of electric lights, candles are used mainly as accents for their soft glow and romantic feel. If candles of old were fashioned from nut fats, animal fats and beeswax, until the much neater paraffin wax developed from petroleum became popular in the 1850s. This made candle making easy, and candles cheap. But it seems this pristine, blue-tinted white wax is not all that neat if recent studies are anything to go by. The fumes released as paraffin wax burns contain carcinogens such as toluene, aldehydes, ketones and other fossil fuel components which can build up inside homes. An occasional candle-lit dinner may not cause cancer, but a regular habit of burning candles as part of a relaxing evening routine may. Shield your candle flames from draughts by all means, but ensure good ventilation. Small, enclosed spaces like bathrooms are no place for burning candles. Do This Instead: Burn pure beeswax or soy candles instead – such as this Bluecorn Naturals 100% Beeswax Candle. Car fumes The higher incidence of lung cancer in miners exposed to diesel fumes has made International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) issue a warning against the use of this fuel. Diesel engine exhausts have higher amounts of particulate matter known to cause asthma and lung cancer. But the truth is that not just diesel fumes, but all kinds of fossil fuel fumes contain several known carcinogens. Diesel and petrol (gasoline), as well as airplane fuel, are derived from petroleum through a distillation process, but they are separated from crude oil at different temperatures. The main difference lies in their combustion inside the engines. Apart from airborne particulate matter, they all release toxic carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons including benzene. Benzene is a known carcinogen that damages the bone marrow where blood cells are produced. Chronic exposure to this chemical is implicated in several types of blood cancers. Granite Granite is a hardwearing stone that looks great when used for flooring, wall cladding or as countertops. When polished to a mirror finish, it is easy to clean and less likely to stain, compared to marble. These factors have made it popular in many modern kitchens. But granite is known to emit radon, a radioactive gas which is believed to increase risk of cancer. It is a decay product of radium formed when the uranium and thorium in bedrocks decay. Granites come from many countries, and are available in many colors. Their radioactivity is also just as varied. Radon gas is colorless and odorless, which makes it impossible to detect with our senses. What makes it all the more dangerous is its high density. When emitted by the granite inside homes, it remains close to the ground and accumulates, steadily releasing radioactive daughter elements and ionizing radiation. According to EPA, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Testing for radon gas is the only way to detect its presence. Reducing granite use and providing active ventilation in the areas it is used may help cut down the risk of exposure. Toothpaste: The synthetic dyes, neurotoxic saccharin, fluorides and sodium lauryl sulfate that make up most commercial toothpastes only poison the body by suppressing glands, causing cancer in the cells. For better results, try the Health Ranger's ozone infused coconut oil pulling solution, or the new Toothsalt with Neem. Skin lightening cremes: Often used to treat hyper pigmentation, these products are typically loaded with mercury, which is toxic to cells. Sunscreen: Cheap, chemical-based sunscreens are a cocktail of hormone-disrupting chemicals that make their way into the bloodstream and damage the metabolism and the reproductive system. The Environmental Working Group warns about the health problems associated with oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene and avobenzone. For an alternative that works, switch to a zinc-based, botanical SPF formula. Acne treatments: Benzoyl peroxide, commonly found in acne treatments, is linked to skin tumor activity, as observed in this important study. Hairspray: These products actually cause lung damage. First symptoms of hairspray poisoning include blurred vision, breathing difficulty, burning eyes and pain in the throat. The formaldehyde, propylene glycol and phthalate content, combined with shellac and denatured alcohol, are a quick recipe for cancer. Moisturizers: The chemicals formulated into moisturizers are often derived from coal tar, and contain arsenic. Once absorbed, these distort normal cellular functions, and have been linked to skin cancer. For better results and safety, try a plant based moisturizer formula or use coconut oil instead.
