Is There Motor Oil in YOUR TOOTHPASTE?

Sounds crazy, doesnt it?
Cosmetics, shampoo, body lotion, laundry detergents and softeners, furniture polish, pesticides, toothpaste, fertilizers, city water, plastic storage containers and even some foods contain deadly ingredients. The problem today is that most products are made from petrochemical derivatives of nonrenewable crude oil. What is wrong with that? Its what petrochemicals do to the nervous system and hormones that is the problem. Neurotoxins are so called because they are toxic to your nervous system. The core of your nervous system is your brain, which not only affects thinking and feeling but regulates every system in your body. When your nervous system is damaged, your entire body can be affected, said Debra Lynn Dadd, an internationally-recognized consumer advocate specializing in identifying products that are safe and environmentally responsible. Are you tired all the time? Sadly, you may be causing yourself to feel this way because you are using everyday household products that contain toxic ingredients. In some of these products, the neurotoxins, often derived from petrochemicals, can even act as mutagens when found in sufficient amounts. That means these substances can change the genetic coding in cells. Other product ingredients are not harmful by themselves, but when combined with ingredients humans often intake, they can be dangerous. Finally, many of these neurotoxins come from the same petrochemicals that cause cancer.

Whats the Big Deal?

Simple contact with petrochemicals and toxins is enough for them to get into your bloodstream. In just 26 seconds after exposure to chemicals, they can be found in every organ in the body according to an EPA flyer called Top 10 Killer Household Chemicals. Thats why many medications, even some life-saving medications, are applied to the skin instead of being injected. Its a great way to get medicine working quickly. Unfortunately, it is also the way many products with harmful ingredients affect the body. Many lotions, cosmetics and other products have a mineral-oil baseand mineral oil is a petrochemical. Mineral oil is such a common ingredient that you are probably applying this petrochemical to your skin daily.

Because Its for Sale Doesnt Make It Safe

Now lets talk about cosmetics, lotions and hair-care products. Certainly these items are safe. Once again, the evidence raises concerns. Cancer and health risk experts just concluded reviews that indicate mainstream cosmetics and personal hygiene products pose the highest cancer risk exposures to the general public, higher than smoking.1 After cosmetologists complained of headaches, loss of balance, memory loss, asthma, nervous system damage and respiratory damage in a 1989 government hearing on the safety of cosmetics, a House sub-committee called for the analysis of nearly 3,000 chemicals used in cosmetics.2 The results were disturbing. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) studied 2,983 ingredients and found 884 to be toxic. Of the 884 toxic ingredients, biological mutations could be caused by 314, reproductive problems by 218, acute toxicity by 778, cancer tumors by 146 and skin and eye irritation by 376.3

Mineral oil molecules are too large to penetrate the water after a spill so they stay on the surface, coating it and forming a barrier. Its the same with human skin. Mineral oil blocks all nutrients that might be in a product, and it offers no nutritional value in return. It actually draws any nutrients the skin might have away. No matter how high the quality of mineral oil a company claims to make, there is no such thing as good mineral oil. These oils are hydrogenated. Hydrogenation basically plasticizes the oils, making them act like plastic in and on the human skin. Then the plastic coating keeps the skin from effectively eliminating toxins and regulating temperature.4 Often, these derivatives of nonrenewable crude oil, like mineral oil, are not found in nature, and the human body doesnt know what to do with them. All kinds of side effects varying in degree can then be expected. The more common symptoms are fatigue, memory loss, personality changes, headaches, sleep disturbances and sexual dysfunction. Even worse, many of the same oils that cause these symptoms are also known to cause cancer.5 Many lubricants, cosmetics, waxes and soaps are also made with animal renderings. When an animal dies, whether it is a cow ravaged by disease, the remains after it is slaughtered road kill, a goat or a sheep or a cat or a dog euthanized by the city, it is sent to a rendering plant to be disposed of. There, the animalsbones, blood, hooves, horns, heads, intestines and allare dumped in huge grinders, mixed together and steam-cooked. Then the fatty substance that floats to the top is scraped off and used to make these common household products.6 Disgusted? How could the fatty leftovers of dead, diseased and euthanized animals possibly be good for you?

Until times change, consumers must look out for themselves. First, it is always advantageous to be educated. Know what the harmful ingredients are and look for them on ingredient labels. But maybe even more importantly or more conveniently, find a company you can trust to use only safe ingredients. A reliable company can save you hours of ingredient checking and even studying, because you can buy from it without worrying about what it uses in its products.

Alarmingly still, the cosmetics and toiletries industry makes $36.4 billion a year. And in 1999 the Cosmetics Office, which deals with this industry and functions under the FDA, had its funding cut by 50 percent, reducing its staff from 27 to 15 people. This cut included secretaries and clerks. It forced the suspension of the Cosmetics Voluntary Registration Program. This means makers of cosmetics no longer have any place to report the ingredients they are using. The cuts also meant there is virtually no place to go for questions about products, ingredients and safety issues because there arent enough people to make that happen. Laboratory studies have also been reduced or suspended.8 The cosmetic industry has become so big, and in many cases the products so powerful, that the cosmetics industry has begun to use the word cosmeceutical to refer to products that have druglike effects. And many products do have powerful, yet unregulated and untested, ingredients. These kinds of ingredients are commonly found in skin peelers, skin lighteners and darkeners, emollients and so forth. If a product changes the structure of the skin, then it is a drug, and one that hasnt been tested for side effects, long-term effects and so forth. Therefore, the consumer needs to be looking out for himself and understand ingredients and their effects, because there is no one else doing it.9 The FDA can take action on a case in which harm is done only after a product is on the market and only after it has received enough consumer complaints and enough evidence has been collected to prove in court that the products is hazardous.

What Has Gone Wrong?

Most skin care and personal hygiene products have a common ingredientmineral oil. And mineral oil is toxic to the human body. After all, mineral oil, or nonrenewable rude oil, is the same substance that kills marine life after an oil spill in the ocean.

Get It Off the Shelves!

Clearly, the Food and Drug Administration isnt moving fast enough to keep us protected. In fact, the FDA isnt even required to test cosmetics for safety before they are sold. The FDA can only remove a cosmetic from the market after enough complaints have been registered and enough evidence has been collected to prove the product harmful.7
