Last week we were privileged to speak for a group of moms with pre-schoolers, knows as MOPS.
I have been sharing this story, my story, for over 25 years and some of my best friends now remember seeing my presentation for moms groups with a big trash can filled with all sorts of empty cleaning product bottles, with a skull and crossbones on the front. The message, even several decades ago; Get rid of the chemicals in your home and laundry, for your health's sake!!!
The message is truer now with even more chemicals out there and the incidence of childhood asthma and other diseases on the rise, out of control. Find me a soap box to stand on ( yes, that is a pun)and I'll continue to speak up and share my story. Are the chemicals we use in our everyday lives harming our kids? According to a new study, concentration of PGEs, propylene glycol and glycol ethers, in bedroom air was linked to an increased risk of developing asthma, hay fever, and eczema in children. These types of chemicals are found in construction materials, paints, and common consumer products such as cleansers, plastics, toys, cosmetics, and packaging.
Here is the lastest study that I found..... Everyday substances increase risk of allergies in children, Swedish study reveals
