Truely Pissed Now

Man started my research, and it pissed me off. How many of you can honestly say that you know what kings of simple household things that you use that are safe. I'm not a genius,or an expert on toxicology but I do know now everything in my home is a potential hazzard.

What about the cleaners we use. Well guys here is an excerp from an article I came across. http://leas.ca/CancerSmart-Consumer-Guide.htm


CancerSmart Consumer Guide.
"The easy-to-read booklet goes into comprehensive detail about a vast array of chemicals, such as 2-butoxyethanol--a suspected cardiovascular, developmental, endocrine, liver, kidney, and reproductive toxicant found in products like Fantastic Lemon Scent Cleaner and Tilex Total Bathroom Multipurpose Cleaner--and ethoxylated nonylphenol, a suspected endocrine toxicant, which is in Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent and VIP Regular Detergent."

"silica is a known carcinogen and is suspected of being toxic to the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney, and respiratory system. The CancerSmart Consumer Guide lists silica as an ingredient in Ajax Cleaner With Bleach, Comet Powder With Chlorinol, and Twinkle Copper and Brass Cleaner. Then there's trisodium nitrilotriacetate, a known carcinogen, found in All, Sunlight, and Wisk laundry detergents."

OhKay when is the government going to stand up and do their job and start protecting us from all this crap. We need better labelling on these products and better governance of the chemicals so that we the consumer can make a wiser choice of household products. Do you want to see changes? Here is how you can help pesuade our elected officials to do a better job. Write a letter, and keep writing letters to:

Environment Canada

or:

Health Canada
Deputy Minister - Rosenberg, Morris A.
Brooke Claxton Building
Tunney's Pasture
70 Columbine Driveway, Room 1526B

Go ahead write to all of them, start demanding that they do their job and protest us Canadians from a untimely and a certain painful death of Cancer.
