How To Avoid Toxins From Your Car's Air Conditioner

This is an email I received today that I want to be sure everyone gets to read. Please read it carefully so you understand what it's saying. There's nothing wrong with air-conditioning in your car - you just need to let the car air out a bit before you close it up. Take the time to read not only this article but then click on the snopes link at the end for further clarification.

________________________________________

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!! Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.

Open the windows after you enter your car and then turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.

Here's why: According to research, the car dashboard, seats, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.

Thought: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'

This is what snopes.com says. It is not the air conditioning in the car but the Benzene producing agents that cause cancer. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/benzene.asp

Toxins In Your Shampoo And Conditioner

Non Toxin Living

Toxins in Your Shampoo and Conditioner May Be More Toxic Than Those in Your Food.

Read your labels and look for the following ingredients

Toxic Ingredient #1: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate It also goes by other names including sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium laurel sulfate, sodium dodecylsulfate, sulfuric acid, sodium salt sulfuric acid, A12-00356, Akyposal SDS, Aquarex ME, and Aquarex methyl.

Toxic Ingredient #2: Dioxane In the medical journal Cancers 2007 review of mammary carcinogens, dioxane was identified as one of the 216 chemicals which was linked to breast cancer in rodents.

Toxic Ingredient #3: Diethanolamine or DEA In a recent FDA report, approximately 42% of all cosmetics were contaminated with NDEA, with shampoos having the highest concentrations. DEA also readily reacts with nitrite preservatives and contaminants to create nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA), a known and potent carcinogen.

Toxic Ingredient #4: MSG Monosodium Glutamate According to the FDA, MSG side effects include: numbness, burning sensations, tingling, facial pressure, headaches, nausea, drowsiness and weakness, among other problems. Also referred to as amino acids, yeast extract, nayad, glutamic acid, or glutamates.

Toxic Ingredient #5: Propylene Glycol Despite the fact the material safety data sheet warns users to avoid skin contact with propylene glycol as it is a strong skin irritant and can also cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage, its more than likely in your shampoo!

If you knew of a food which contained all of these toxins... Would you add it to your grocery basket on a week to week basis? Would you feed it to your children?

You might think that because your skin is about one tenth of an inch thick, it protects your body from absorbing the many things you come into contact with.

But the truth is, when you consume toxins in foods, such as pesticides in fruit and vegetables, the enzymes in your saliva and stomach often break them down and flush them out of your body. Food also passes through your liver and kidneys. The toxins which make it through are detoxified to varying degrees by enzymes before they reach the remainder of your body. (That is, given you have a healthy digestive and immune system).

However when toxins are absorbed through your skin, they bypass your liver and enter your bloodstream and tissues with absolutely no protection whatsoever.

Think of it like this: when you put shampoo or conditioner into your hair, the twenty blood vessels, 650 sweat glands, and 1,000 nerve endings soak in the toxins. And some studies suggest skin can sometimes absorb more than your digestive tract. According to evidence presented at 1978 Congressional hearings, the absorption of the carcinogen nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA), which is commonly found in shampoo products, was shown to be more than 100 times greater when exposure came through your skin than via your mouth. Whats more...

A Hot Shower Opens Up Pores in Your Skin and May Make it Easier for Toxins to Enter Your Body

Heres how it works: When you have a warm shower, your pores automatically open up, which may make it easier for sodium laurel sulfate... DEA... MSG... propylene glycol, and Ethylene Oxide to enter your blood stream.

And while you have been told about the damaging effects of pesticides and additives in food, the ugly truth about the damage shampoo and conditioner may do to your body has been hidden until now.

The Problem with Natural Shampoos

The primary ingredient found in many natural shampoos is soap based. The problem with many of these natural shampoos is that they typically dont clean very well, and tend to form scum by reacting with calcium and magnesium ions present in water. This leaves a residue that can leave your hair feeling unclean and looking rather dull.

Whats more, the pH of soap-based cleansers is very basic, about 8-9--which can cause damage to your hair by lifting cuticles and causing reactions which affect the disulfide bonds in your hair. Ingredients like sodium silicate and borax are added to help overcome the scum formation and dulling effect on your hair.

You have two choices

One... Continue using your current shampoo and conditioner because you are used to it. Put your head in the sand, trust the FDA, and ignore the fact that the majority of shampoos and conditioners on the market are the beauty equivalent of junk food--designed to fill a temporary craving. And ignore the fact youre probably absorbing carcinogenic ingredients directly into your bloodstream.

Or two... Get your hands on a shampoo and conditioner which is not only natural and free of toxins, but is backed up by a 100%, risk-free, money-back guarantee.
