Dark-colored urine (see Tea-Colored Pee, above) and excessive urination are other urine-related signs of this condition.

Antiperspirants and perfumes have become so much a part of our lives that we rarely think about why we need them or whether we really need them. It may even be more important to find out if they can be harmful to us. Deodorants and antiperspirants were invented because more and more people began to perspire excessively and develop body odor. It now appears to be the normal thing to do to give the underarms a spray in the morning and forget about this "smelly nuisance" for the rest of the day.

A note on colognes or perfumes: They can lead to serious allergies, birth defects, and even cancer. A major loophole in U.S. Federal law allows fragrance makers to include potentially hazardous chemicals in their products, including the highly toxic phthalates and artificial musk. Most fragrances contain phthalates. They are added to plastic to soften it. When absorbed by the skin, they act as the most powerful estrogens ever known. And abnormal estrogen levels cause cancer. Synthetically produced musk is linked to skin irritation, hormone disruption, and cancer as well.

Add to these pollutants the harmful chemicals contained in the cosmetics, deodorants and perfumes, clothes, food, water and air that enter our bodies every day, and even a healthy body will eventually succumb to the overdose of such forms of stress and duress. Although many of us cannot completely avoid living in a polluted environment, we still can reduce our direct exposure to it to the least possible degree We have control over what we wear, eat, drink, put on our skin and hair, and how much time we spend outside in the fresh air.

Why was Walgreens selling products if it didn't know what was in them? And what about retailers like Wal-Mart, Costco and Sam's Clubs?
