"We now know that dioxin exhibits serious health effects when it reaches as
little as a few parts per trillion in your body fat. Dioxin is a powerful
hormone disrupting chemical. By binding to a cell's hormone receptor, it
literally modifies the functioning and genetic mechanism of the cell,
causing a wide range of effects, from cancer to reduced immunity to nervous
system disorders to miscarriages and birth deformity. Because it literally
changes the functioning of your cells, the effects can be very obvious or
very subtle. Because it changes gene functions, it can cause so-called
genetic diseases to appear, and can interfere with child development. There
is no "threshold" dose - the tiniest amount can cause damage, and our bodies
have no defense against it...
Unfortunately, according to the EPA, much of the population of the U.S. is
at the dose at which there can be serious health effects...

Dioxin...has been a hazard downstream of paper mills (where chlorine bleach
combines with natural organics in wood pulp and produces dioxin)."

"Nationwide, more than 32 million pounds of household cleaning products are
poured down the drain each day. Many of these products contain toxic
substances that are NOT processed adequately by sewage treatment plants or
septic systems. Careless or improper use and disposal of these products may
threaten individual health or lead to accidental poisoning. Long term or
cumulative environmental consequences may also occur like contamination of
surface and ground water...

DID YOU KNOW ?
a.. THAT OF THE 17,OOO CHEMICALS THAT APPEAR IN COMMON HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS,
ONLY 30% HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY TESTED FOR THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON OUR HEALTH
....

a.. MEDICAL DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS HAVE STUDIED, ANALYZED, EVALUATED, AND
CONCLUDED
THAT THERE IS A DEFINITIVE CONNECTION BETWEEN OUR HEALTH AND
THE USE OF EVERYDAY COMMON HOUSEHOLD CLEANING CHEMICALS ...

Most household cleaners contain toxic chemicals. Ammonia is in almost all of
them and is lethal if combined with bleach (forming chloramine)...

As a by-product of its oxidizing process, BLEACH releases 'chloramine gas'
into the air which destroys oxygen content and diminishes indoor air quality
dramatically...

Chlorine bleach can cause cancer causing chemicals to form in the waste
water stream.

The most toxic substances to aquatic organisms present in the water were
household bleach, all-purpose cleaner, laundry detergent, and dish
detergent.

Chlorine bleach compounds are toxic to aquatic organisms in very low
concentrations...
