The 12 Most Dangerous Cancer Causing Products in Your Home Today

 

The fast progress in the field of technology and the changes that happened in the way people view the world and society had strong impact on our lifestyles. This ultimately means that we are more prone to reduce our well-being by getting exposed to many different toxins and chemicals.

We eat GMO and chemical-packed foods; we breathe polluted air and get in touch with many harmful substances on a daily basis. What is even worse is that most people are unaware of these risks, especially when it comes to foods because they think that the labels are a proof that everything is alright.

That’s why we have decided to offer a list of 12 of the most harmful products associated with the formation of cancer. These products are found in almost every modern household.

1. Household Products – Ajax Cleanser (Colgate- Palmolive Inc.)

Ajax Cleanser is one of the most popular cleansers in the world. However, the manufacturer (Colgate-Palmolive Inc.) didn’t list a toxic ingredient found in this cleanser. This ingredient is called crystalline silica.

It has already been linked to cancer (skin and lung) and eye irritation. Crystalline silica has been listed as carcinogenic more than 20 years ago by the MSDS (Material Safety and Data Sheet). The good news is that the number of products that use this toxic ingredient is reducing.

2. Whole Milk (Lucerne, Borden etc.)

Some people may find this odd, but whole milk also comes with toxic elements that can’t be found on the label. Some of these toxins include:
