THERE ARE MANY TIMES MORE CANCER CAUSING POLLUTANTS IN THE COSMETICS AND
SHAMPOOS SUCH AS NITROSAMINES AND SODIUM LAUREL SULPHATE AND THE LIST GOES
ON. IT IS SAID THAT 80% OF BREAST CANCER IS CAUSED BY UNDERARM DEODORANTS,
SO WE HAD BEST WORRY ABOUT THESE THINGS BEFORE WORRYING ABOUT FOOD SOURCE
POLLUTANTS THAT ARE OF VERY LOW MAGNITUDE IN COMPARISON; FOR EXAMPLE, ONE
SHAMPOO CAN INDUCE MORE NITROSAMINES INTO THE BODY THAN 2 LBS OF BACON!
