Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Miracle II green soap is also natural and very good for this. My husband brushes his teeth with it. It cleans and rinses easily. Miracle II is also great for cleaning many other things. Cuts grease so good. You can bathe with it in confidence that there is nothing harmful in it. > > User Beware ---The whole list is on the web too. > > > > > > Carcinogens Found in " Organic " Personal Care Products > > > > > > A new study commissioned by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) found that many leading " natural " and " organic " brand shampoos, body washes, and lotions contain the carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane.1,4-Dioxane is considered a chemical " known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Could be that chemical is carcinogenic....but the State of California also has progesterone on that list, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has a list of toxins that iodine is on. I once protested about P being on the carcinogenic list and explained that it should be medroxyprogesterone, but my complaint fell on deaf ears.
