When it comes to your home, the facts are plain and simple. Everybody has to clean their house and all the things in it, and everybody does it or has someone do it for them. Just do it, as the saw goes. What that means is that the household products you use--soaps or detergents, cleaners, shampoos, polishes--all play an important part of your life. And necessarily so.

The fact is, there's whole mess of chemistry you don't know about, going on just below the surface. One very important thing to remember about the non- organic household products you use while cleaning house or doing the laundry: The manufacturers are messing with your health--without your knowledge or your permission. That's right. Without your knowledge or your permission!

A Chemical Jigsaw Puzzle

Instead of household products with organic ingredients, the Goliaths use different synthetic chemicals in their ingredients, to get certain results when they make cleaners and detergents. The way the manufacturers do that is by making new chemicals that do different things. Such as make your detergent sudsy, your clothes white or to leave your counter-tops with a sparkling shine. The key ideas here are synthetic chemicals and making money--lots of it.

Your Health May Be At Risk

Many of the ingredients contained in kitchen and bathroom products use synthetic chemicals, some of them with pretty nasty side effects. Like cancer, birth defects, Alzheimer's. Even some forms of diabetes have been linked to synthetic chemicals. Many of today's diseases either didn't exist or had very low patient numbers fifty years ago. We are all at risk for what the chemical producers for the last fifty years have been introducing to our lives and our environments. It's not good...

Organic household products don't do that. Organic ingredients or certified non- toxic chemicals won't harm your health--or your family's. The corporate logic on synthetic chemicals is that what you don't need to know is what's really in their products. The so-called "ingredients" listed on the labels are all they want you to know. And those "ingredients" are not really the ingredients.

Okay, they are. The point is, it's what's not on the labels that can be dangerous. Toxic. Many non- organic household products list things like cleaning agents and buffering agents. Or fragrances and brightening agents. But the manufacturers won't tell you what the actual ingredients are. It's on their Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS), but who reads that junk?! Almost nobody, that's who.

I read them to collect information that I can tell you about. Just so you know the facts I gather can be verified.

Instead, the FDA chooses to focus its enforcement efforts on the accuracy of information on product labels. You can forget about household product safety. Isn't going to happen. Not when the only thing the FDA is interested in is the label information! We both know that, as usual, it's all about the money, even though what the Goliaths are doing endangers your health.
