Harmful Skin Care Products
Many of the most popular brands of skin care products contain chemicals that are known toxins and carcinogens. Although it may sound dramatic to say that your life depends on which skin care products you choose, in the long run, that may very well be the case. You've probably heard this before, but it bears repeating. Our skin is a living organism, and over time skin care products and cosmetics migrate throughout our bodies. Don't look at particular brands because all popular national brands have varying amounts of preservatives. Learn to read labels and check your personal care products for one of the following dirty dozen: * Coal Tar
* Diethanolamine (DEA)
* 1,4-Dioxane
* Formaldehyde
* Lead and Mercury
* Nanoparticles
* Parabens
* P-Phenylenediamine
* Hydroquinone One of the things I find interesting is the number of women who experience autoimmune diseases such as fibromyalgia, lupus, and chronic fatigue syndrome compared to the number of men who don't. If you do some cursory research you'll find that about 75 percent of autoimmune diseases occur in women, most frequently during the childbearing years. In the case of Grave's Disease, it's even higher--80 percent. How is this possible? Doctors who specialize in treating autoimmune diseases say that while minute amounts of chemicals may not be harmful by themselves, when combined with hundreds of other minute amounts of chemicals, it becomes a recipe for the autoimmune diseases many women suffer from. Conversely, men who generally use far fewer cosmetics than women, have a dramatically lower incidence of of autoimmune diseases. It's not hard to draw correlations between the chemicals in skin care products and the rates of autoimmune diseases.
