Cleaning Products Come Clean?

It's about time cleaning products are held accountable for those "seceret ingredients" they've been hiding under their radars for so many years. There's no telling what toxic junk we have all been spraying in the air and on surfaces thinking we are doing good. In reality, we are doing great harm to ourselves and the environment. Not to mention the damage it could be causing to infants and young children. It's time more companies let us consumers know what we are really buying! http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/11/23/whats-really-in-glade-windex-and-pledge-sc-johnson-will-final/?icid=mainhtmlws-main-ndl3link4http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailyfinance.com%2F2009%2F11%2F23%2Fwhats-really-in-glade-windex-and-pledge-sc-johnson-will-final%2F.

Chemicals Found in Pregnant Women

No matter how dedicated you are to eating only organic foods and having the knowledge of dangerous chemicals found in everyday lotions and deodorants, preventing toxic chemicals from entering your blood stream and passing onto your unborn child is beyond your control! In a new study released today that tested levels of chemicals in pregnant women significant traces of PFOS(Telfon Chemicals), bisphenol A, mercury and phthalates were found. The womb,the environment that most needs to be kept safe, is not free of toxic pollutions. http://www.seattlepostglobe.org/2009/11/17/infuriated-mom-why-cant-i-protect-my-body-study-pinpoints-chemicals-in-moms-to-be
