 When it comes to the toxic ingredients Movement, she is not an apologist but an explainer.
Gadbury showed a slide with newspaper headlines generated by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and asked: Who is behind the hype?
• The bored & the lonely with Internet connections
• Cosmetic companies profiling their uniqueness against their competition
• Non profit "Watch Dog" organizations who survive on donations of "motivated" donors
• Scientifically naive journalists seeking "eyes"
150 cosmetics companies agree: Beauty products don't need to be toxic. |

 The real problem with China's toxic ingredients, you see, is that they kill Americans too quickly, thereby depriving Big Pharma of a lifetime of revenue treating some sick person's symptoms with extremely profitable patented medications. This is not appreciated in America because it competes with our own home-grown poisoning method that prefers to poison consumer more slowly, bilking them for hundreds of thousands of dollars in monopoly priced medications and hopefully killing them off right before Medicare or social security might kick in. |

 A study that didn't even attempt to take into account the other toxic ingredients in vaccines?
This is the new standard of "conclusive" science in medicine today?
Give me a break. The only thing that can be conclusively derived from observing all this is that mainstream media journalists continue to function at a very low level of scientific literacy, lacking any skills of mental reason by which scientific studies might be assessed. |

 Are there risks such as allergic reactions, increased sun sensitivity, insufficient sunscreen formulations, or potentially toxic ingredients?
I wish I had the space to challenge and explain every single exaggerated claim and lofty explanation that accompanies the products listed in this book, but there is just not enough room (or time) to tackle that prodigious task. I cover most of the distortions and some of the hyperbole about products and ingredients in the reviews and in Chapter Seven, Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary. Also I provide extensive information on my Web site (www.cosmetic-scop. |

 The Convention designates e-waste as hazardous waste because of its toxic ingredients. As of 2006, 166 countries had ratified the convention —including the entire European Union as a body, and each of the member states individually. The United States is alone among developed countries in not ratifying it.7
Even Europe, however, was slow in implementing a serious approach to e-waste, as Greenpeace's findings reveal. But in 2003, the EU began trying to get a handle on electronic waste. |

 Allowing hydrogenated oils to remain legal is a direct violation of the FDA's stated directives, which include protecting the public from food, drug and cosmetic manufacturers who may use dangerous or toxic ingredients in their products. The FDA has utterly failed to protect the public from toxic ingredients and continues to demonstrate its own failure with each and every decision that places corporate profits ahead of consumer safety. |

| Some of these are suspected," he commented, referring to toxic ingredients suspected of causing health problems although there is no proof. "But when you're looking at something that has long-term implications, something that's a carcinogen that wouldn't show up as cancerous cells for 20 to 30 years, why use it? Why include it in your daily regimen?" Max wonders why, instead of addressing problems at the source, we try to fix them at the back end. Why don't we work on preventing cancer, instead of just treating it? "Prevention has got to be somebody's priority. |
| Of all the products in Skin Deep, those that change the shape and color of hair, such as relaxers, perms and dyes — along with nail products and skin lighteners — have the most toxic ingredients. The conditioners marketed to African-American women can also be problematic. "Instantly repair dry and damaged hair" is a typical marketing claim on hair products containing placenta, the nourishing fetal organ expelled after birth. Placenta products supposedly make hair stronger and more manageable, but they can also contain estrogenic hormones that are linked to early puberty and breast cancer. |

 Consumers desperately need to know what's really in their pet food, and there is an urgent need for the pet food industry to clean up its act and stop poisoning dogs, cats and other pets with toxic ingredients that cause cancer, diabetes and other diseases," Adams said.

| How is it that the guy who invented the Ames Cancer Test5 30 years ago is on the industry conference circuit telling companies that pollution doesn't matter and they should keep using toxic ingredients? I wondered if Dr. Ames had reviewed the research showing that synthetic chemicals can interfere with the body's absorption of micronutrients.
Ames was just one of many mysteries from this long strange day. |

The reason Horst waited so long to start a new product line was that he "didn't read the fine print in the contract" with Estee Lauder, which specified he had to quit and then wait five years before starting a competing business. He stayed on with Estee Lauder after the 1997 sale, hoping to use the big company's resources to reformulate products. "I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to clean up the cosmetics industry," Horst recalled. "Well it didn't work out that way ... |

 Manufacturers of household cleaners are not required to list toxic ingredients on their product labels even if those products contain toxins. The truth is, you have no idea what is in the polish you use to make your dining room table shine or the spray you use to make your windows gleam. Yet, according to a study by the Environmental Protection Agency, the fumes and gases released into our homes by everyday cleaners help to make indoor air five times more polluted than the air we breathe outdoors. |

 Check your cosmetics for toxic ingredients and throw them away. Most health food stores now stock a variety of organic cosmetics and even natural hair dyes. Don't use fabric softeners.
Exchange your perfumes and air fresheners for natural aromatic oils and fresh scents from your garden. Because most spermicidal products contain petrochemicals, avoid using lubricated condoms or vaginal gels. New homes or offices filled with new carpet, fiberboard, new paint, and glues can give off a wide variety of toxic fumes. |

 There are two types of enzymes our bodies naturally produce: Digestive enzymes are responsible for the digestion of food, the assimilation of its nutrients into our bodies, and the elimination of its nonessential and toxic ingredients. Metabolic enzymes are the ones that make every biochemical reaction possible within each of our 100 trillion cells. These biochemical reactions provide the metabolic energy that ultimately allows us to see, hear, breathe, feel, walk, and talk. Simply put, without enzymes, life would not exist!

 Even though fdters removed some toxic ingredients, there was little indication that this radically reduced the burden of lung cancer or any other diseases.13 Smoke is a mixture of several hundred different chemicals. If anything, what evidence there was about the impact of fdters pointed in the opposite direction. Those who smoked filtered cigarettes tended to inhale more deeply in order to get as much nicotine as their brains needed for a buzz. To compensate for the fact that filters made it harder to get the right amount of nicotine, filtered smokers tended to inhale harder and longer. |

| The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics asked all companies selling cosmetics in the United States to sign a pact agreeing to abide voluntarily by guidelines based on the EU's restrictions, and to remove toxic ingredients from their products by 2008. The request has divided the industry. Four hundred companies, most of them small to medium-sized natural-cosmetic firms that had already committed to removing potential toxins from their products, agreed to sign, including Avalon Natural Products, Pangea Organics, and The Body Shop. |

| All their government experience would no doubt come in handy as the cosmetics industry faced increasing regulatory challenges over toxic ingredients. However, as Pamela Bailey noted in her speech, "The new reality, unfortunately, when you look at the federal budget, is that there will be no federal funding available to FDA — either this year or in the foreseeable future — to focus on cosmetics." Pause. "That's because cosmetics and personal care products are the very safest products that FDA regulates. |

 The entire food supply -- made right here in the USA -- is laced with toxic ingredients. I say we abolish the FDA, form a brand new agency, put Dr. David Graham in charge of ethics, and outlaw all dangerous food ingredients in twelve months or less. |

 There are many things that go right through your skin, and those include fragrance chemicals, solvents, and a lot of other toxic ingredients that are found in personal care products. One such ingredient called MIT was recently discovered in most brand-name shampoos, and this MIT ingredient is known to cause brain cancer.

 In fact, cosmetics, more often than not, just poison your skin with toxic ingredients that don't belong in the human body in the first place. I've written an entire book that goes into more detail about these tactics that advertisers use to seduce people into purchasing their products. This book, "Health Seduction," explores the seductive tactics used by food companies, beverage companies, cosmetic manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies. |

 So again, some people might say that these toxic ingredients are still allowed in the food supply -- that the FDA allows companies to use hydrogenated oils and sodium nitrite and high-fructose corn syrup -- because we have to keep the population chronically diseased. They say it is not only good fiscal policy for the federal government, but it also creates generous profits for the pharmaceutical companies. That last part of it is certainly true: Big Pharma makes billions treating disease symptoms caused by toxic food ingredients. |

 Maybe these are just a bunch of symptoms caused by eating foods containing a lot of toxic ingredients and not taking care of my health."
If you've read any of my work, you know that I study food toxicology and share a lot of information about that, and I can tell you that if you're eating the conventional foods in America, you are poisoning your body. You don't have chronic fatigue syndrome, you have a toxic biochemistry because you've been consuming toxic foods with those ingredients like sodium nitrite, artificial colors, and hydrogenated oils ... the list goes on and on. |

| And if people started eating fruits and vegetables, if the food supply was cleaned up to remove metabolic disruptors and toxic ingredients, and if hydrogenated oils were banned, then the average lifespan in this country would increase even further. That will cost the government billions of dollars that it doesn't have. Which means, of course, we'd have to sell more treasury bills (government debt) to China and Japan. |

 Every single one of these diseases is preventable through nutrition, through herbal supplements, through lifestyle changes, and through the avoidance of toxic ingredients in the food supply like hydrogenated oils and refined sugars.
Every person I talked to backed this up. They said we do not need to live in this kind of society, as we have the technology, the products, and the knowledge available right now. Right now, people can go out and get things that can prevent all of these diseases, if not outright reverse many of them. |

 These are supposed to be places of health, yet they are serving people foods with toxic ingredients like sodium nitrate, saturated animal fats, refined white flour in the buns of these hamburgers and MSG in the meats. There's sugar in the tomato sauce, acrylamides in the fried foods, and hardly a speck of life left in the menus of most hospitals. There is truly dangerous food being served right now in cafeterias at cancer centers, hospitals, clinics, and, of course, public schools, all across the country. |

 We've got to ban toxic ingredients like hydrogenated oils. They should have no place whatsoever in the food supply. We've got to outlaw things like homogenized milk fats, because of the way they promote atherosclerosis and cardiovascular heart disease. We have to eliminate ingredients like sodium nitrite, which causes cancers throughout the body, especially cancers of the digestive tract such as colorectal cancer.

| This artificial fat directly causes cardiovascular heart disease, it destroys normal cardiovascular health, it destroys the healthy functioning of the nervous system, it causes brain disorders, it causes heart attacks -- it is one of the most prominent and yet toxic ingredients put into the food supply. It also causes birth defects and essential fatty acid deficiencies in both the mother and her fetus.
And it's put in foods on purpose, for the convenience of the food manufacturers. |

 Brighter and clearer color paints tended to be made up from toxic metals such as mercury, cadmium, arsenic, lead, antimony, tin, cobalt, manganese, and chromium, whereas the earth colors tended to contain less toxic ingredients, such as harmless iron and carbon compounds.
Analysis of the areas of various colors in randomly selected paintings by these artists compared to "control" artists (contemporary painters without rheumatic disease) suggests that Rubens and Renoir used significantly more bright and clear colors based on toxic metals and fewer earth colors. |
