chemicals in the stuff we buy

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

A work colleague has got me interested in reading the lables on the

stuff I buy. It started off with meat content and trans-fats and now I

look at all lables. Because of my migraine I have never been able to

buy anything that is perfumed but now I am trying to buy products that

contain no sodium laureth sulfate, parabens, formaldehyde as well as

perfume and soap. I try to buy 'organic' products when I can (and can

afford) and I drink bottled water and because I don't want to take in

so much fluoride. I also use toothpaste which has no fluoride. I

wonder how many toxic chemicals an individual ingests in their

lifetime? And I wonder how much stays in the body......all people

suffering from any form of thyroid problems should be tested as a

matter of course.

All this label reading makes me take ages to do my shopping and because

I need glasses to read I have to take a magnifying glass to see the

stupidly small print on stuff.
