sodium lauryl sulfate

    Since the age of six-teen i was researching the benefits of being a vegetarian, meditating on a daily basis, and an organic lifestyle. I've been making healthier decisions since then. The food i eat is actually being digested, low on pesticides, and high in nutritional value; it's a lifestyle worth living because of how much awareness you can cultivate. My research led me to believe that our government seriously wants to do harm to it's citizens. I can't begin to describe how shocked i am about the crap they put in our products. F.D.A, U.S.D.A, D.E.A, etc...it's all corrupted. Why else would corporations like Monsanto use aspartame, a chemical used in diet soda, sweeteners, and is known to cause seizures and deaths.  Sodium lauryl sulfate is also a harmful chemical used in our shampoos, soaps, and toothpastes which may be known to cause breast cancer because of where oestrogen levels are known to be involved in; oestrogen is believed to be mimicked by the sulfate after it is absorbed by the skin.  The products are used because of how cheap they are to produce. It goes to show that in this country if you can save a buck or two, you're personal well being is, pretty much undermined. If you do your research you'll come to find how everything is tied in together: major corporations buying out our system - F.D.A - for their selfish needs. It's hard to get around it, i figure that the place our country is in now, everything is probably fucked with. It's hard to live a completely organic life because we don't have much of a choice. As i mentioned before, it's about how much awareness you can cultivate; so, be as organic as you can be, but remember that you can only do so much.
