'Safe cleaning'.... the myth of Supermarket Products
Home pollution... Scientific Fact = 'industry fiction'
If you've followed the debates about chemical contaminants in the environment, you've probably already heard at least one of these claims before:
- "These chemicals meet EPA standards."
- "You'd have to drink a swimming pool of this stuff before it would harm you."
- "There's no evidence that this compound harms humans."
The chemical industry and their hired public relations representatives trot
out these and similar claims whenever the safety of one of their compounds is
called into question.
At
face value, many of these statements appear reasonable. But once you scratch
the surface, they prove to be little more than carefully constructed fictions
and half-truths that obscure the real facts... that the EPA requires little or no
testing of compounds before they are released to the environment... that cancer
rates are up, especially for the young, and... that many people, particularly
young children, are extremely sensitive to certain compounds.
Before you accept the industry's stories about chemical exposure, make sure
you have the facts. You'll find many revelations on the dangers associated
with the vast majority of common household consumable products. There are many
alternative products available to replace common supermarket brands and allow
you to greatly improve the home environment for you and your family. If you
