1, skin care products are toxic
Fluoride in toothpaste.
Toothpaste on the market contains fluoride more or less, which can prevent tooth decay. However, fluoride is also a potential "poison". Even if ingested in a very small amount, it will have adverse effects on health and even cause poisoning, and the toxicity can be accumulated day by day.
Be sure to use fluoride toothpaste correctly. Adults should not exceed 3 or 4 mg per day, and children from 7 to 1.9 mg to 2. 1 mg should not exceed 1 mg. Children under 3 years old are easy to swallow fluoride toothpaste by mistake when brushing their teeth. It is recommended not to use fluoride toothpaste for the time being.
2. Preservatives in bread.
Bread is soft and delicious, which is a healthy breakfast for many people. But did you know that bread not only contains wheat, milk and sugar, but also contains a preservative called calcium propionate (E282).
More than 20 years ago, this preservative was quietly introduced into bread. It is a colorless and odorless white powder, and people can't distinguish it by its appearance, smell and taste. Its harm to human body is gradually accumulating. Studies have proved that it is related to upper gastrointestinal diseases and migraine, and it can also lead to learning difficulties and persistent fatigue in children.
3. Propylene glycol in wet wipes.
Both ordinary wet wipes and baby wipes contain a common raw material-propylene glycol, which is a petrochemical solvent, easy to penetrate into the skin, and its harm to the body can not be ignored.
It will accumulate in the heart, liver and kidneys, causing them to be deformed and damaged, and will weaken the immune system. In addition, it can also damage the cell membrane, causing rash, dry skin, contact dermatitis and skin surface damage.
4. Mouthwash contains alcohol.
Mouthwash can help clean teeth and mouth, and bring fresh breath. But one of the essential raw materials: alcohol, may make the body more vulnerable to carcinogens. According to the research report published by the National Cancer Institute of Australia in 2009, the alcohol content of mouthwash is 25% or higher, which is related to the canceration of mouth, tongue and throat.
5. Formaldehyde in nail polish.
In recent years, there are more and more nail shops on the street, and the passion for beauty makes many people ignore the pungent smell of nail polish. In fact, the chief culprit of this smell is formaldehyde, which we often say we can't avoid.
Prolonged exposure can cause inflammation of eyes, nose and throat, cough, asthma attack, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, rash, nosebleeds, headache and dizziness. Long-term and high-frequency use of substances containing formaldehyde will have potential cancer risk.
6. p-phenylenediamine in hair dye.
Fashion men and women constantly change the color of their hair, and middle-aged and elderly people dye their gray hair black to look young. As we all know, most hair dyes on the market use a chemical substance-p-phenylenediamine, which can help color and brighten hair color, but it can also cause skin allergies and even cause cancer.
If you need heating when dyeing your hair, it is more harmful to your body, because after heating, p-phenylenediamine will enter the capillaries through the scalp, which may cause blood diseases such as leukemia with poor blood circulation. In addition, p-phenylenediamine can easily induce skin cancer and bladder cancer.
When dyeing hair, it is best to apply some lotion to the skin next to the hairline, so that it is easy to wash off after getting the medicine; If the hair is partially gray, you don't need to dye the whole head black, just dye the white part to reduce the irritation and damage to the scalp.
7, diethanolamine in care products
Although shower gel and moisturizing cream can clean the skin, they will unconsciously harm the body. It contains a substance called diethanolamine, which is used as a solvent, emulsifier, cleaner and wetting agent.
In skin care milk, diethanolamine is used as a softener, but it will react with nitrate in the product to form nitrosamine, which is a potential carcinogen. In addition, diethanolamine may also irritate skin and mucous membranes.
8. Foaming agents in baby care products.
Baby care products should be the most reassuring, but in fact, they also contain harmful substances. Sodium dodecyl sulfate is one of the most commonly used foaming agents in cosmetics and personal care products. Sodium dodecyl ether sulfate is formed after oxidation. Because it is less irritating to eyes, it is often used in mild care products and baby care products.
It is also an estrogen, which is considered to increase the chances of breast cancer and endometrial cancer, and is closely related to low sperm count and pathological appearance.
9. Cosmetic talcum powder.
When women buy cosmetics, they must remember that most of the smallest powdery cosmetics such as eye shadow, rouge and foundation contain talcum powder.
This is a very fine lubricant with chemical properties similar to asbestos, and it is a known carcinogen, which is related to the increase in the number of patients with ovarian cancer and respiratory diseases.
Women who use talcum powder have a 60% increased risk of ovarian cancer. In addition, talcum powder and other baby skin care products must not be used. In addition to causing cancer, inhalation may also cause acute respiratory pressure.
10, toluene in perfume.
If you have asthma, you must remember to stay away from cosmetics such as nail polish, hair gel, hair wax and perfume, because almost all of them contain toluene and use it as a solvent.
Studies have proved that inhaling high concentration toluene in a short time may cause obvious irritation to eyes and upper respiratory tract, such as conjunctival and pharyngeal congestion, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, limb weakness, stumbling and confusion.
If exposed for a long time, it may lead to chronic poisoning, neurasthenia syndrome, hepatomegaly, or abnormal menstruation, dry skin, chapped skin and dermatitis in women. If you are a perfume lover, it is hard to give up using it. You can consider using plant essential oil instead.
