A study looked at the cord blood for 10 random US babies, and found an average of 200 industrial chemicals and polutants per baby. At birth, these kids already had major toxins in their bodies. Check out this website, and look up the skin/hair/etc products you use:

If you look at nothing else, check out the list of the most dangerous (i.e. toxic) baby washes. Johnson & Johnson and Gerber both have products right up there at the top. We sure won't be using them!!!!!
And surprise surprise, almost all of the stuff in the shower at our place contains chemicals that can cause cancer, developmental problems, etc. I guess that's what we get for shopping based on packaging and fake fragrance.
I'm going shopping for new shampoo tomorrow. Hey, I've missed reading the labels on Dr. Bronner's anyway.

YIKES!!! Thanks for the link! The amount of garbage we pump into the air and into our consumable goods is frightening. All for convenience, we poison the future. There's jet fuel in breast milk, for heaven's sake! Anyway... It's important to have information and make wise decisions based on it. Thank you for putting a little more of that information out there!!
