Have you seen all the harmful chemicals in baby products every day?
Children in today's growing problems, healthy development, including the increased incidence of preterm births, male genital defects, learning, attention and emotional disorders, precocious puberty, obesity and low sperm quality.
A recent report "Growing Up Toxic" by the California Environmental Policy Research Center and the results confirm that the load is the primary cause of increased chemicalDisabilities and illnesses. The only good news is that to protect the baby against many of these chemicals, armed with knowledge and dedication is smart buy.
News are screaming about using bisphenol A (BPA), a toxic chemical in most plastic containers, including baby bottles, water bottles, sippy cups and other containers for food and beverages. Much of the recent protest occurred after the publication of a recent study, baby-Toxic Bottle: Bisphenol A Leaching from PopularBrands of baby bottles.
The study, commissioned by environmental groups and health in the United States and Canada in order, in their calls for ban on BPA, an environmental management system by estrogen, since it is known to deplete the plastics industry and has development and risk staying connected to reproductive health.
Dr. David Carpenter, Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the State University of New York at Albany School of Public Health, said BPA taken into the body before birth or in earlymay alter the ratio of sex hormones influence the life and development.
"It 'is absolutely obscene, a substance that can make little boys' less masculine and opens the possibility that the girls are going to develop breast cancer," he said during the teleconference.
The BPA studies call for a ban on the use of BPA following measures of the U.S. state of California on the use of phthalates and other known cancer-causing ingredients in products to prohibit children. Phthalates (pronouncedTan-latest) are used, plastic, soft 'and is in toys, teething, bottles, and some things that boys play more often feel or are in the mouth. The California law is leading other states to start making adjustments to known carcinogens, hormone disruptors, neurotoxins, but the path to success is rocky and very long.
In early 2008, another study found elevated levels of phthalates found in the urine of children who had been recently washed, powder or lotioncommonly used commercial products for children. These reports, along with a number of other recent studies have genuine concern and outrage from parents across the nation contributes.
If the products become much aimed at promoting a good education is a threat to health, creates anxiety and sorrow. He also indicates the need for parents to be vigilant consumers to read labels, follow recent studies, which are released and begin to safe, clean, the question of experienceProducts for their children.
One of the first elements and controlled, attention can be a parent, skin and body care products that expose their children every day. And no, I'm not just talking about child care. I am using all positions with the adults for the shower or bath or brushing your teeth, as deodorants, lotions, makeup, nail polish and cleaner products / cool at home. Read the labels to mark the container of the product and the fact that the average American comes intoContact with more than 200 toxic chemicals only ready to work in the morning! If you are on your body and then raise the child to calm the tears, it is safe to assume your child is always the same 200 chemicals that you just slathered on your body exposed.
So how do you start?
Just take one step after another. Read labels and try to limit the number of toxic substances in each product. I have listed down the most disturbing - in clips list and take it with you whenThey shop. Remember that if a product has ingredients that are 5 or 6 on the list - or just an ingredient on the list that should be reason enough to seek a safer product.

I recommend you take the time to find the best natural, certified organic and / or wildHand formulations. Look for certifications such as: toxic free Seal ® Certified product Ecocert seal or the USDA Certified Organic Seal.
These seals are signs that a third party examines and evaluates the formulations based on its safety standards. I think you have a "right to know 'what's in the product is not going to hurt you or your child!
