Thought I could share this with you... Go home and check your shampoo.
Change it before it’s too late...Check the ingredients listed on your
shampoo bottle, and see they have a substance by the name of ’’Sodium
Laureth Sulfate, or simply SLS’’. This substance is found in most
shampoos, and the manufacturers use it because it produces a lot of
foam and it is cheap. BUT the fact is that SLS is used to scrub garage
floors, and it is very strong!!! It is also proven that it can cause
cancer in the long run, and this is no joke. I checked my
shampoo (Vidal Sassoon); it doesn’t contain it; however, others such as
Vo5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, l’Oreal, the newHempShampoo from Body
Shop etc contain this substance. The first ingredient listed (which
means it is the single most prevalent ingredient) in Clairol’s Herbal
Essences is Sodium Laureth Sulfate. So I called one company, and I told
them their product contains a substance that will cause people to have
cancer. They said, Yeah we knew about it but there is nothing we can do
about it because we need that substance to produce foam. By the way
Colgate toothpaste also contains the same substance to produce the
’’bubbles’’. They said they are going to send me some information.
Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer is 1
out of 8000 and now, in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1
out of 3, which is very serious. So I hope that to you will take this
seriously and pass this on to all the people you know, and hopefully, we
can stop ’’giving’’ ourselves the cancer virus.
This is serious, after you have read this, pass it on to as many people
as possible, it concerns your family and your health.
