If You Knew It Was Poison,
Would You Still Use It?
Many scientists and doctors are discovering that there is a connection between our increased use of household chemicals and the increased incidence of chronic illnesses in children like cancer, asthma, ADD/ADHD, birth defects and a host of other problems.
According to the National Safety Council, more children under the age of four die of accidental poisonings at home than are accidentally killed with guns at home.
By educating yourself, you can know what to look for when buying personal care items and household cleaners and ultimately decrease your risk of chronic illness for yourself and your family.
We all need to learn more about the products we use everyday.
