Is it not absurd to suggest we would knowingly expose our family to harmful chemicals. After all, as good parents, we must protect against the multitude of germs and bacterial we are warned of every day in the media.

We wage battle against fungii, salmonella, e-coli, staph aureus with an ever increasing army of products that must be safe - we purchase them from our local markets, they wouldn't have them on the shelves if they weren't safe -- would they?

I would like to share a bit of advice. Read the labels on your household and personal care products.

We read labels on our food products, looking for amount of sugar and fat, reduced calories, cholesterol count all in the name of keeping our family healthy. Why then, would we not do the same for the other products we bring into our home. A general rule of thumb, if you can't pronounce it, there's a good chance you don't want to be using it.
