"Here is the real problem: chemical manufactures don’t account for these variables to validate the safety of these chemicals. They still use the obsolete (linear) dose-response models to prove to the EPA that compound X (fill in the blank) is safe in your deodorant and child’s shampoo."

I read moons ago that it was Alcan that financed the initial research that said Fluoride was good for teeth - we have been fooled for many years. How are Water Companies persuaded to put it into the water systems ? It must the little brown envelope
It really worries me that all my drinking water comes in plastic bottles. I can't drink tap water because the chlorine causes pain in my bladder. For the last 14 years I have been drinking still mineral water from plastic bottles. My cooking water is filtered though. I have to carry water around with me, so heavy glass bottles are out.
I've recently started to use a slow cooker because I get a lot of pain standing up. It's been fantastic but now I'm thinking food can be in there cooking for 10 hours, how much aluminium will be in my food? It's all a scary thought.
I think a lot of people don't see the link with cosmetics say leaching chemicals into the blood stream. I can't use hair dyes for example because the chemicals cause bladder pain. To me it reinforces just how much we are unwittingly polluting ourselves.
Aluminium is in nearly all conventional deodorants - especially roll-on deodorants!! BUT always test the aluminium free deodorants before buying them (a small swipe on the inside of the elbow). Some people react to a couple of the ingredients in aluminium-free deodorants.
Aluminium in deodorants has apparently been linked to breast cancer (although I can't find a source for this).
This article is so true, I have spent years feeling unwell, for the last 4 years my Ferritin was 8-16 (even with iron infusions)
In November I started the GAPS diet which causes a natural detox of the body. My latest Ferritin count has doubled for the first time ever and my T3 has normalised
Hi reallyfedup123, it gets worse, the inner bowl in my slow cooker is metal with a non stick coating!
You're right not enough research is being done.
Our water comes from a spring, not sure if Severn Trent have a way of adding fluoride? It's terrible water, really hard. They did something recently to improve the quality, I hope that doesn't mean chemicals
