More Toxic Stuff to be Aware of...

Because I understand the principles of the Law of Attraction, I don't want to be a person who is constantly reminding parents how awful things are. In fact, I want to look for the good and make a conscious effort to do that every day. I am, however, going to bring things to your attention as I run across them, so that you can make better decisions for your children.
I have a personal belief that with all of the epidemics in the news (autism, asthma, adhd, allergies, bipolar, etc.) our children's problems are a reflection of the toxic state of our world, and are apparently going to be the catalysts to finally clean up our environment. They better be - if not our kids, what?

I try to stay with natural products, but sometimes I run out. I happened to have some Huggies Shea Butter liquid soap that I used to use long ago on Liberty when he had cradle cap. I was trying to find out if there was gluten in it (yes, you must check ALL of your products for gluten and casein) and instead I found it has a cancer-causing chemical in it.

Here is the blog I ran across and the information on 1,4 dioxane. I thought I would list it so you might want to check your labels.

It's just a reminder to me that I have to be vigilant about products I use and to do my part by cleaning up my personal environment at home.

I too always have the best of intentions but shopping is usually such a crazy affair that sometimes I'm lucky if I manage to get home with a complete potential meal.
Best wishes
