Twelve Products You May Want to Avoid

Many people have seen the “Dirty Dozen” food listing created by the Environmental Working Group. (If not, you can see the full list and print a handy wallet-sized guide at http://www.foodnews.org/walletguide.php.) I just came across a similar listing for the “Dirty Dozen Consumer Products” published by the Cancer Prevention Coalition so wanted to share it as a follow-on to both the Book Review for “Clean House, Clean Planet” and What Does ‘Body Burden’ Mean and How Does this Affect My Family?

The following products are some of those included:

• Ajax Cleanser
• Alberto VO5 Hair Conditioner
• Clairol Nice-n-Easy Permanent Hair Color
• Crest Tartar Control Toothpaste
• Cover Girl Replenishing Natural Finish Make Up Foundation
• Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder
• Lysol Disinfectant Spray
• Zud Heavy Duty Cleanser

This full list is available at http://www.preventcancer.com/consumers/general/dirty_dozen.htm. In addition to listing the toxic ingredients in each item, the list also points to healthier alternatives so finding a replacement is easy.
