Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 I'm not quite sure I understand. You don't want to use up your fat and thereby get rid of the stored toxins? You want those stored toxins to just stay there and accumulate rather than be eliminated once and for all? I don't understand. Please elaborate (and I mean that in the most respectful way possible). > I've read about " toxins " be stored in fat as well. This is why I do not fast > and why I'm more concerned about my meat being organic than my veggies (tho > we grow most all our food ourselves).

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hi Trudy, Thanks for the url's! I've checked them all out. I especially like the ewg.org site on toxins. It will take awhile, to really investigate... I had heard that you shouldn't use any of the mainstream deodorants because of the aluminum in them -- its purpose is to clog the skin pores of your armpit, so the sweat (containing toxins) can't come out. And people have hypothesized a link between the aluminum clogging (and toxin back-up) and breast cancer. But they don't seem to even mention aluminum on the ewg site -- other toxins take the front stage... At any rate, I've decided to go with the "completely organic and chemical-free" stuff (for shampoo and cond.). The Yoga Journal lists 4 companies that fit this: Aubrey Organics Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps Pangea Organics Terressentials They also list the following in a "second tier" category -- each of these products still contains known carcinogenic ingredients: Avalon Organics Kiss My Face Tom's of Maine Nature's Gate Not all of them make shampoos. I checked them out online and will try Aubrey Organics first.

My deodorant is over 8 on a scale of 1-10!Trudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
