Title: Are YOU Killing Your Baby?
Author: Kristine Peterson
Article:
Pretty harsh title isn't it! Most of us parents make it a daily
priority to keep our children safe from all sorts of hazards. We
worry about the food they are eating, the beverages they drink,
and if they are warm enough or cool enough. We teach them about
not talking to strangers and how to cross a street safely. We
teach them the hazards of drugs, smoking and drinking. But, even
if you do all this, you could still be killing your child! A
couple very common preservatives found in baby shampoo are
imidozlidinyl urea and diazolidinyl urea. These can cause
dermatitis. Cosmetic talc is carcinogenic and is found in baby
powders. Talc based powder has been linked to ovarian cancer!
Propylene Glycol is reported to have SEVERE adverse effects on
the health; dermatitis, allergies, kidney and liver damage to
name a few. These are found in baby products such as wipes and
lotions. Sodium Laurel, Lauryl or Laureth Sulfate, sodium
dodecyl sulfate are skin irritants and reported as being toxic.
They have a tendency to react with other ingredients to form
carcinogenic nitrosamines. Studies have shown that these
chemicals penetrate the eyes, heart, liver and brain. This is
the main ingredient in shampoos, baby shampoos, and toothpaste!
Flame-retardants are another very harmful item! These have a
chemical structure similar to dioxins and PCBs. They accumulate
in the body and build up in the food chain. They may affect
hormone function and be toxic to the developing brain! Because
PBDEs dissolve readily in fat, they can accumulate in breast
milk and be transferred to babies and young children! They have
even been shown to cross the placenta and reach developing
fetuses in utero! Flame-retardants can also be absorbed into the
skin. Where do we find flame-retardants? On our mattresses,
furniture, carpets, and some clothing for babies! So, when you
put your baby to bed on that beautiful baby mattress you are
exposing your baby to chemicals that could cause terrible health
problems and possibly even death! I was shocked to find that
formaldehyde is used in products that I use every day! I had
previously thought it was only used to embalm dead bodies. Then
I found that some of the most commonly used preservatives could
also break down into formaldehyde! Where are these chemicals
found along with formaldehyde itself? Shampoos, cosmetics, nail
polishes, and permanent press sheets and mattresses to name a
few. Formaldehyde, is allergy producing, and can cause insomnia,
coughing, headaches, nausea, nosebleeds and skin rashes. So,
here we have Baby on a mattress that has been treated with
chemicals to make it flame retardant, and also formaldehyde! We
put formaldehyde on their little bodies in the form of lotions
and shampoos! At the very least we are causing them to be
unhealthy and at the worst we are bringing them death! How sad
is it that most of us aren't even aware of all the harmful
things we expose our babies to! The answer to these problems is
to be aware! Did you know that wool is a natural flame
retardant? No chemicals in natural wool! There are also shampoos
and lotions being made with no harmful chemicals in them and
there are mattresses being made from all natural wool and
organic cottons. No chemicals of any kind! Lets keep our
children really safe be choosing to surround them with organic
and natural substances that are completely chemical free!
