Fabric Softener - Rub and a dub dub
I am Dr. Patrick Flanagan, and this is my Doctor Health Secrets
newsletter.
I am a scientist with over 300 inventions related to health,
longevity and medicine. This newsletter installment is about
fabric softener and dryer sheets and their effects on your body.
It All Comes Out In The Wash
He's cute, sweet, gentle, innocent. He loves you almost as much
as he loves your laundry, and he'd be willing to do just about
anything to prove to you how "snuggly" he really is. Aside from
how scary it would be to have a stuffed bear show up inside your
laundry room, what is scarier is the product that he is toting.
Yes, our dear friend and possessed little laundry buddy, is
pushing a product that causes more health problems than could
fit on one label.
Your clothes may be soft, and they may smell "fresh," but dryer
sheets and fabric softeners are some of the most toxic products
on the market. Most people have no idea what toxins are actually
in these products, but if they did, it is likely that they would
stay clear of them and resort to less fragranced means of
finding freshness.
It's Dirty Laundry
It is easy to tell you that dryer sheets and fabric softeners
can lead to cancer and brain damage, but it would help if these
chemicals were broken down a little further.
A common name that is found on the back of labels is benzyl
acetate, which known to suspected of causing pancreatic cancer.
Benzyl alcohol is another frequent find and is known to cause
irritation in the upper respiratory tract. Ethanol, also easily
found, is on the Environmental Protection Agency's hazardous
waste list, and is known to cause central nervous system
disorders. Limonene is a known carcinogen.
Ethyl acetate is a narcotic on the EPA's Hazardous Waste
list.
Pentane is hazardous if inhaled. Chloroform is a neurotoxin and
a carcinogen. The chemicals in these products are so strong,
that it takes about 50 times more fragrance to cover them up
than is used in perfumes. Need I go on? I could, but I think you
are getting the not-so-bright picture. Fabric softeners stay in
your clothing for a lot longer than they should, and the
chemicals found within them are released into your skin and into
the air for you to absorb. Some lesser effects of fabric
softener exposure are headaches, nausea, dizziness, vomiting,
and blood pressure reduction. No big deal I suppose, but I would
rather save my health than have soft clothing.
This One You Can Wash Without
As the panic sets in, and as you realize that you are a guilty
partaker in the soft clothing phenomenon, try and relax with a
less stressful reality.
MegaHydrate can help alleviate toxic chemicals from the body,
especially those that are found within fabric softeners and
dryer sheets. With a revolutionary formula that also decreases
surface tension of ingested water, MegaHydrate is also packed
full of antioxidants, which help maintain the bodies health, and
which also aide the body in the removal of free radicals and
nasty chemicals. All that bargain in a few small pills. Seems
like a deal to me.
