WARNING: Can You TRUST Warning Labels??

Do you read ingredient labels and warning labels? Want to know what exactly is in the product you're about to purchase? You read the label and all seems well with the world, huh? Did you know that manufacturers are not required to to list the exact ingredients on the label? Did you know that chemical names are often disguised by using harmless 'trade names'. That means if the chemical is on the label, you may not even recognize it for what it truly is!

Take a look at the label of the cleaning products you have in your home. You will find there are Active Ingredients and then there are Other Ingredients. When you think of 'Other Ingredients' one would probably assume that these ingredients are not toxic or hazardous. However, many of the 1,000 different chemicals listed as 'other' are more harmful than the 'Active Ingredients'. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) does not require manufacturers to identify most 'Other Ingredients', or reveal their potential harmful effects. This is especially disturbing because even the ingredients that are suspected to be cancer causing agents are used as 'Other Ingredients' in your household products.

With so many statistics letting us know that household and personal care products have toxins and are linked to a variety of sickness, diseases, and ailments, it is quite disheartening that what is supposed to help us make an educated decision on what products we should or should not buy is the very thing that is misleading us and keeping us blind to what is really the truth.
