Clean Up Your Life <\/em><\/h1>\n

By Wendy LaDue <\/em><\/p>\n

Some cancers are genetic, but many are caused by our everyday exposure to a high level of toxins. Many people are not aware that these toxins in our foods, personal care products and household cleaning products are cumulative in our bodies and get stored in our cells. That means they may cause cancer after years of exposure.<\/p>\n

In my book, \u201cClean Up Your Life!\u201d, I aim to address this issue. You can use it as a take-along shopping guide to help minimize your everyday household toxins. It can also make you aware of toxins to avoid in common products.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little glance:<\/p>\n

Fruits and vegetables most at risk of containing higher amounts of pesticides:<\/em>
\n\u2022 Apples
\n\u2022 Apricots
\n\u2022 Beets
\n\u2022 Bell peppers
\n\u2022 Celery
\n\u2022 Cherries
\n\u2022 Collard greens
\n\u2022 Grapes
\n\u2022 Green beans
\n\u2022 Kale
\n\u2022 Lemons and limes
\n\u2022 Nectarines
\n\u2022 Peaches
\n\u2022 Pears
\n\u2022 Peppers<\/p>\n

Chemicals to avoid in personal hygiene products:<\/em>
\n\u2022 Sodium lauryl or sodium laurth sulfate. These can be found in toothpaste, shampoo and body wash.
\n\u2022 PEG. This is the main ingredient in antifreeze, and is used in many personal care products.
\n\u2022 Phthalates. This is found in many of our products and is a carcinogenic. It\u2019s been linked to breast cancer, as well as many other cancers. It can be found in fragrances, candles, air fresheners, dish soap and toilet paper.
\n\u2022 Parabens (including methyl parabens). This is a carcinogenic. It\u2019s found in cosmetics, makeup, hair care products, shaving cream and moisturizers.
\n\u2022 Cocamide, MEA, TEA and DEA. These are hormone disruptors, and combined with other chemicals, have been linked to liver cancers and other cancers.
\n\u2022 Triclosan. This is classified as a pesticide. It\u2019s found in antibacterial soaps, mouthwash, body washes, cosmetics and lotions.
\n\u2022 Formaldehyde. This is a carcinogenic. It\u2019s found in household cleaning products, personal care products and nail polish.
\n\u2022 Nitrbenzene. It\u2019s a carcinogenic. It\u2019s found in furniture polish and floor cleaners. SWM<\/em><\/p>\n
