CARCINOGENS - Everyday toxins
What do you bring into your house ?
What do you eat ?
What do you put on your skin ?
Toxic chemicals are in your foods, your cosmetics, shampoos, clothes, furnitures, books, magazines, ...
Check your shampoo for toxins!
"Check the ingredients listed on your
shampoo bottle and see if they have a substance by the name of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or
simply SLS. This substance is found in most shampoos, and the manufacturers use it
because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap.
Sodium lauryl sulfate
sodium laureth sulfate
sodium acetyl sulfate
are synthetics used in shampoos for their detergent and foam-building properties.
Those chemicals are known irritants.
They tend to cause eye irritation, skin rashes, hair loss, dandruff-like scalp scurf, and
allergic reactions.
Sometimes disguised under name "comes from coconut" (very deceptive with its
hint of being natural substances).
Carcinogens:
Azo colors and azo compounds (common, also colorings in some
processed foods),
-carboxymethylcellulose (cellulose gum),
-formaldehyde (sometimes listed as formalin),
-TEA (triethanolamine)
-DEA (diethanolamine)
-lauramide DEA,
all of which are often contaminated with nitrosoamines known
to be very carcinogenic in animal tests;
TEA and DEA are very common in mass-produced hair and skin products and even in brands
self-advertised as "natural".
An FDA test of 124 cosmetics showed half with such contamination.
Fluoride - benefit or harm Read here
Fluoride Is A Carcinogen
Fluoride Increases Hip Fractures
Purchase one usual magazine (Times or Newsweek, or
Cosmopolitan,..), or a brand new book.
Open it and smell it. (Do not smell it too long time, as you may faint or get sever
headache. )
That what you smell are 3-10 different carcinogen compounds (from color, paper,
glue, printing, cover...)
If you have basement under your house, make sure you do not have old paints, solvents or
other sources of those toxins.
Car paints contain some of the most toxic compounds.
Most people are breathing many carcinogens from the paints
that they are painting their house, from the paints that furniture is painted, and from
other products they bring into the house.
Be aware. You are buying diseases at the store !

CARCINOGEN LIST
IARC AND NTP CARCINOGEN LIST
This list includes three categories of substances and processes regarded as
carcinogenic, primarily by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World
Health Organisation (IARC), and to a lesser extent, the US Government's Annual Report on
Carcinogens from the National Toxicology Program (NTP).
Although there are some difference in categorisation, for convenience we have combined the
lists under a common nomenclature. There are some minor omissions and exclusions of exotic
materials. Please notify us of any errors or omissions considered important.
Category 1 is for substances for which there is sufficient evidence for a causal
relationship with cancer in humans (confirmed human carcinogen).
Category 2A is for substances for which there is a lesser degree of evidence in humans but
sufficient evidence in animal studies, or degrees of evidence considered appropriate to
this category, eg unequivocal evidence of mutagenicity in mammalian cells (probable human
carcinogen).
Category 2B is for substances for which there is sufficient evidence in animal tests, or
degrees of evidence considered appropriate to this category (possible human carcinogen).
Excluded from the list above are IARC category 3 carcinogens for which assessment evidence
is 'limited'.
All IARC monographs up to issue 60, 1994 and the NTP Sixth Report on Carcinogens are
included; (and will update both sources soon).
Please refer to the original IARC and NTP documents for a more detailed description of
categories and carcinogenicity evidence.
NOTE: THIS LIST CONVEYS A WEIGHT-OF-EVIDENCE APPROACH AND CAN NOT INCORPORATE INFORMATION
ON RISK.
WHILE WE SUPPORT SUCH AN APPROACH, RISK ASSESSMENTS MUST INCLUDE CONSIDERATIONS OF
EXPOSURE, DOSE AND BIOCHEMICAL RELEVANCE.
