"BODYNATURe" HONEY ALMOND SHOWER GEL
"Nourish and enrich your body, with honey almond to soothe and moisturize your skin."
Turning the bottle over to read the back (I was occupied, remember?) I started reading the ingredients:
Water, soap, foam enhancers, preservatives, thickeners, stabilizers, antimicrobials, fragrance, coloring.
Huh?
I read the bottle again.
Nope. Not one drop of either "HONEY" or "ALMOND."
What I DID find was stuff like methylchloroisothiazolinone, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, methylisothiazolinone, Polyquaternium-7, and cocamidopropyl betaine.
Can't pronounce any of that stuff? Neither can I. Know what any of it is? Me neither.
What I DO know is that this stuff ends up in our drinking water. Yes, our DRINKING WATER. Remember that news story a few months ago about Viagra showing up in drinking water because people were flushing expired tablets down the toilet? Well, we use MILLIONS OF GALLONS of this stuff every day, and it all goes down the drain to the local water treatment plant where we assume that it's all removed.
Not.
If they can't get Viagra out, how can they possibly get methylchloroisothiazolinone out? Anyone care to guess what this stuff is doing to our bodies and brains?
Oh, not all at once. Slowly. Just a few parts per billion every single day. Couldn't hurt, could it?
In ancient Rome, the wealthy used to drink LEAD on a daily basis. They used it as a preservative and sweetener. Nobody knew what it was doing to them at the time.
Just a little food for thought.
