So why should we care about 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate ? For starters it is found in some hair products and denture/dental products.
It is in so many products despite it’s ability to cause cancer in lab rats and toxicity of the human digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems.
The studies warrant further research on the effects of nanoparticles on the body. Until then, think twice when stepping into that tanning booth, spraying on the sunscreen or powdering your face. You may be flirting with lung cancer.
I recently stumbled upon a cosmetic website that tested and rated the toxicity level of household products and personal care products. My partner and I had recently switched from toxic cleaners and personal products to organic, all natural, no chemical products. Toothpaste proved to be the most difficult to find a replacement that actually worked, but for most of them, we enjoyed switching to products that contained less ingredients and nothing we couldn’t pronounce.
When our household switched from toxic products to non-toxic, all natural alternatives we enjoyed every part of it… except the toothpaste. We went through so many toothpaste brands like Jason, Toms of Maine and many others. All of them left our teeth feeling fuzzy. Some of them even still contained Flouride, one ingredient we get too much of in our drinking water and a chemical that disrupts the natural hormone production in the thyroid.
Feeling dismayed and out of options, we found ourselves at the Wholefoods store, staring at a wide array of natural toothpastes…..
