Did you know?
Chemical pollution in our home is like a silent epidemic. Increasingly research is revealing the extent of chemicals in our living environment. Studies have found that many absorb into our body and are present in our blood and accumulated in our fat stores.
Mattresses for instance, may contain butadiene and nitrosamine that are well known carcinogens; they may also contain VOC (volatile organic compounds) that may irritate the eyes throat and lungs, brominated flame retardants and formaldehyde, also a known carcinogen. Not to mention what's in your cleaning products, your carpets, sofas, curtains, and bedding, air fresheners, non-stick pots and pans and electrical equipment. All of these chemicals contribute to indoor air pollution and unhealthy house dust. You may think your house is scrupulously clean, but all the chemicals you have used in getting it that way may have created more pollution than is good for your health. Many people ask me what the point is of making some changes if you are not going to make an overall change. My answer is that, even cutting down our exposure to some harmful toxins may cut down the toxic load on your liver, which is constantly trying to clean our body of all the waste.
