WhiteLotusLiving.com educates consumers about the dangers we face from exposure to harmful, synthetic chemicals in our everyday products and helps consumers find a wide variety of safe, natural products to replace the harmful ones. The Breast Cancer Fund explains that 83,000 chemicals are registered for use in our products. Only 7% of these have been studied for their effects on our bodies. 218 have been linked directly to breast cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that 6% of cancer deaths (nearly 34,000 a year) are caused by environmental pollutants. This could be a significant understatement. The U.S. has banned 10 chemical ingredients in our cosmetics. Europe has banned or severely restricted more than 1800 ingredients. It's time for us to open our eyes and act. Every time we buy a product we cast a vote either for manufacturers to continue using harmful chemicals or to provide us with healthy, natural alternatives. We have power in our collective purchasing behavior. Let's buy smarter and be healthier!
