Deodorant Ingredients
Ever taken the time to check out the deodorant ingredients on the deodorant you put on day after day without giving it much thought? You would find a bevy of deodorant ingredients that you cannot even pronounce, much less spell. It is a daunting experience the first time you actually realize what you are applying to your body every day of the year.
Having scared myself after reading the list of deodorant ingredients, I remembered the theory that one of my good friends had. Because so much of our food today is chemically altered or heavily laden with chemicals, she refused to eat anything that she could not pronounce the names of the ingredients.
So, as a result, I have followed her lead, and resolved not to put anything on my body that has deodorant ingredients that I cannot pronounce or read.
We use our deodorants day after day, year after year; and even though some of the deodorant ingredients are in minute amounts, most of them are bad for you in some way or another.
Isn't is a given fact that even a small amount of toxins taken on a long term basis over and over again, will have an effect on our system? And to try and throw people off the track of that kind of thinking, all the confusion and denials begin. The scientists involved and various other people associated with producing the deodorant ingredients will claim that that is perfectly true---long term exposure can have a bigger effect in the long run.
But now they all begin dancing around the truth and skirting the facts. It has not been proven conclusively that any of those unpronouncable deodorant ingredients that you find on the label are toxic to mankind in general, and we need more proof to show us that the deodorant ingredients we use day after day can be harmful to human beings.
How many times do we need to be whacked over the head with the facts before we listen and wise up? How about that business with CFC's, and remember when arsenic used to be a household commodity?
But as time goes on and especially with the turn of the twentieth century, more and more people are taking their health into their own hands and veering away from all the chemical additives that are added to so much of the products we use on the market today, and instead are gravitating more and more toward natural products.
However, the majority of consumers have yet to be convinced either way, but the numbers keep growing of people who are turned off of all the chemicals we are bombarded with every day and are doing something about it.
In my case, I moved into a more natural path for my life after I took the time one day to read the deodorant ingredients on the deodorant I had been using every day for years. Certainly makes you stop and think about things that matter, now doesn't it?
