We have been using the same old household products for years, not really thinking about or asking the question what is actually in the products we take for granted every day? We have been on auto-pilot or convinced by advertisers to use a particular product without any thought going into 'how safe is this product?'. We have got complacent and just expect that the Government body that approves products will have approved the products that are available to us in the shops. Interesting isn't it that products that contain warning signs and instructions on what to do should the product get into eyes or the mouth, or in some cases just on your skin, are readily available when other products such as a certain vitamins and herbs are totally banned.
Well I realised some time ago that there isn't anyone looking out for your health or best interests. There is too much money at stake. Big corporations control the Government and unfortunately we the consumer suffer for this. So we are given products that make the producers of them big money with little thought given to the adverse effects that they have on us and the environment.
So, what can we do to ensure that we have a healthy home? We take back control. We look at the list of ingredients in our products before we buy them. We must ensure that we do not lose our right to have products fully and truthfully labeled. (There is an argument to stop compulsory labeling of products as some manufacturers say it increases costs. I think it's because there are so many genetically modified ingredients in our food and so many caustic ingredients in our everyday household products that they don't want us to know whats in them).
There is a definite movement from the consumer towards organic foods, free of pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, human growth hormone etc etc...
Likewise there is growing awareness that its important to know what ingredients make up our skincare and cosmetics, perfume and toiletries. As there are thousands of 'nasty' chemicals being used in products that we use on our person and in our homes every day. The incidence of a wide range of diseases including cancers is on the increase.The incidence of kids with A.D.D., autism and neurological imbalances is on the increase too.
I urge everyone young or old to become more aware of what the 'nasty' ingredients are and then you can avoid them and create a happy and healthy home.
