Dirty Laundry
On any given evening that I go out for a run around my surrounding neighbourhoods, I cannot escape the sickening chemically-fragrant smell of dryer sheets blasting out of the dryer vents of the many homes I pass by. I often stop breathing the moment I catch a whiff of it until I pass the house it’s emanating from. Doesn’t make for a very efficient run! I must admit though, even as a non-meat eater, the smell of steak on the neighbourhood BBQs still makes me hungry!
Eating Your Lipstick?
Mmmm….lipstick. Doesn’t that sound appetizing? You may be shocked to know that the average woman may ingest between 4 to 9 lbs of lipstick in her lifetime. What an astounding and disgusting fact! That could add up to over 1000 tubes of the stuff!
Is Your Toothpaste Killing You?
Okay, so I’m not suggesting that your tube of white goo and toothbrush are plotting your slow demise. Just consider what that goo might consist of. Most all toothpaste contains fluoride along with a host of other chemicals that are definitely not good for you. Considering that anything you put in your mouth is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, it troubles me that the chemicals in toothpaste could be compounding in my body on a daily basis. Fluoride is a dangerous chemical and can have devastating effects on the body’s organs. Do a little research into this and you’ll be stunned at what you’ll learn.
