I know I write about chemicals a lot, but I find it appalling that so many
items we use are potentially harmful to our health. I'm constantly seeing
more products with the California Proposition 65 warning label on them.
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
I try to avoid any product that has this label on it, but it's getting harder
to avoid. So far I've seen this label on...game systems, cellphones, back-
packs, jewelry, watches, microwaves, cellphone cases, eye glasses, shoes,
curling irons, cameras, gingerbread houses, electrical tape, and purses!
I don't understand why our government is allowing us to be poisoned.
How can we be healthy if we are constantly using products that are hurting
our health?
You have to thoroughly read everything before you buy it. Read the package
from top to bottom, because sometimes the warning is on the bottom of the
package. These corrupt companies aren't gonna protect you; you have to
protect yourself.
