Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I see that NT recommends Sal Suds for the washing of produce. I looked on the bottle and I see that it contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Of course I also see that NT recommends chlorine for the washing of produce, which makes me SHUDDER. Should I be shuddering about the SLS in Sal Suds? I wrote to the Dr. Bronner company and they wrote me a long letter explaining why the whole SLS-bashing-thing is basically a farce. Can anyone comment on the safety of using SLS (or at least Sal Suds)? Thanks, Tamara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 there are lots of safer products out there at stores (like whole foods) that sell sulfate free cleaners.....sulfates are made from salts they are a detergent laryth being worse than lauryl but they are not necessary any more they can make things lather from coconut or palm oils (they are just more expensive)....my advise stay away from sulfates bad news the jury is still out about them causing cancer not to mention they are listed as a carcinogen. they are also in wine beer and a lot of dried fruits so watch out if you drink...so yeah you should shutter...stay away from them! amy and Humane Society of the US help Defend Animal Rights with replyforall and funds from our sponsors.
