In the U.S. a woman will die from breast cancer every 13 minutes. I thought this was appropriate since it's October.
Thanks!

Liquid dish soap! Because many times they contain formaldehyde and ammonia. That's a little scary.

This scares me so much that I've switched to cleaning my house with white vinegar!

Whoa! "Liquid dish soap is the leading cause of poisonings in the home for children under the age of six; most brands of liquid dish soap contain formaldehyde and ammonia. — The American Cancer Society" I never would have guessed that would be the leading cause or that they contained formaldehyde. Definitely makes you wonder what other products contain formaldehyde. Email: jennae {at} greenyourdecor {dot} com

Some products release contaminants into the air right away, others do so gradually over a period of time. Some stay airborne for up to a year.

I would have never though that liquid dishsoap was so dangerous-that's the first I've read what it contains!

We use only chemical-free products in our house but I have not heard of this brand and would love to try it. We are trying to get others (family) to stop using chemicals, especially because our daughter is extremely sensitive and we do not want her to be around that. No exceptions. Chemicals, fragrances, etc should really be illegal. It is harming all of life.
We've completely transitioned over to all green products, usually home made. The worst thing I have in the house is Borax, which is kept high out of reach!

This was interesting...
Companies are not required by law to list the contents of their products and testing for long-term health effects are not enforced. Toxins, even trace amounts, can be absorbed into your body and organs within seconds of exposure.
Companies definitely have a way of hiding harmful things because they're more concerned with profits than the actual safety of those products. Thanks.

Liquid dish soap is the leading cause of poisonings in the home for children under the age of six. I would not have guessed this in a million years!
I learned that estrogen-like chemicals in our indoor environments may increase breast cancer risk. As a woman with breat cancer in my family... this is scary!

Wow - 884 ingredients in personal care products were found to be toxic. That's really scary. These eco-me products sounds like a great idea.

I feel like I'm just copying everybody else, but the nasty stuff in dish soap was a surprise. Too bad manufacturers of cleaning products are not required to list their ingredients on containers. Thanks for the giveaway.
We still have aweful toilet bowl cleaner.

Companies are not required to list their products ingredients. That's scary, especially in this day and age when there are so many allergies to different things.
I had no idea that some common chemicals are linked to breast cancer.

Very scary reading the articles. I found this one to be one of the worse ones.Estrogen-like chemicals in our environment (can be found in food, pesticides and detergent cleaners) have been known to interfere with sperm activity and may increase breast cancer risk.

"The most common substance to poison children is a household cleaner and many of these products are considered safe." We've got to be more aware of these dangers!
Email in profile
This statement explains a lot: "Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities." So that's what's wrong with me! I need to quit cleaning the bathroom!
