Natural Health
It is our responsibility to know what we are putting in and on our body. Don't depend on a company or government agency to educate you on the chemicals used in their products.
The Importance of Education
All you really have is your health but many of us never think about it until it's too late. The first step to being healthy is to learn more about your environment and what may be lurking in our everyday products that may be causing potential health issues. Unfortunately, although we have several government agencies that are supposed to look out for public safety when it comes to the ingredients that are in some products, often they fail to correct or even find the problem until the product has affected the health of the consumer.
The FDA, EPA, HHS and the CDC are the current systems used to protect the health of the public by detecting unhealthy chemicals in our personal care products. Although there are methods in place many of these unhealthy chemicals still make it into our homes and on our bodies. In several cases people have been able to bring the problem to public attention and obtain financial retribution for their illness but it's difficult to prove that a person's cancer or illness is linked to a single product.
Usually when there is a civil litigation it is based on a whistle blower that releases the company's internal documents that reveal that the company was aware of health risks yet refused to inform the public or remove the dangerous chemical from the product. There are several cases where large companies have neglected to place the health of their customers over the company profits.
