This Article Will Shock You If You Use Toothpaste

This article will shock you if you use toothpaste, shampoo,  shower gel, bath foam and other personal care and household  products. 
Most of us happily purchase personal care and household  products without giving it a second thought. 
Take a look on the back of some of your products and take  the bathroom test today! 
Do you have any of the following ingredients listed :

• Sodium Lauryl Sulpate, 
• Sodium Laureth Sulphate, 
• Aluminium, Alcohol, 
• propylene Glycol, and 
• DEA

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is commonly found in toothpastes,  bubble bath, shampoos and soaps. It's used as a thickener  and foaming agent, but has also been found to be a skin  irritant. 
Shampooing your hair with a shampoo containg SLS can put as  many nitrates into your body as if you ate a pound of  bacon!  Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is also used as a wetting agent in  garage floor cleaners and engine degreasers. 
Sodium Laureth Sulphate is a higher foaming version of SLS  and may be less irritating, however it may cause drying.  Like Sodium Lauryl Sulphate it may cause the potentially  carciogenic formation of nitrates on reacting with other  product ingredients. 
Aluminium is commonly found in deodorants. Used regularly it  can increase the risk of alzheimer's by up to 3 times. (From  Natural Health May-June 1983)  
Alcohol is found in mouthwashes. Mouthwashes containing high  amounts of alcohol have been implicated in cancers of the  mouth and throat, according to a 1991 study from the  National Cancer Institute. 
Propylene Glycol is found in a wide range of personal care  products including cosmetics, shampoos and foam baths. 
Propylene Glycol is a cosmetic form of oils found in brake  and hydraulic fluid, as well as antifreeze. In cosmetic  products it stops moisture escaping from the skin. Material  Safety Data Sheets warn users to avoid skin contact with  propylene glycol as this strong skin irritant could cause  kidney damage and liver abnormalities. 
DEA is a wetting agent used to provide a lather in shampoos,  skin creams and cosmetics. On it's own it's not harmful, but  during storage on a shelf or in a bathroom cupboard it may  react with other ingredients to produce carcinogens.
