Yesterday in the newspaper I read an article related to baby shampoos.I was really shocked to see that scientists claim to prove that a content in the baby shampoo which we use, including the branded ones like Johnson's, contains chemicals which causes cancer.Till now I have used Jhonson's baby shampoo for my both kids & are doing pretty well. Now after reading that I have completely stopped putting baby shampoo to my kids & instead use some soap nut powder. Now my question to you is do you still continue to go with the baby shampoo even after coming to know that it might lead to cancer or do you think that since ages we are using the shampoo & till now have never heard about the ill effects of the shampoo & still would continue?

As this point, it seems like everything causes cancer or could lead to cancer. I always try to stick to organic things as much as possible. It's hard though, organics tend to be more expensive and harder to find in little towns. Really any types of man-made chemicals seem to have some type of ill-effects. Really frustrating! What I wonder about is if so many things can cause cancer, how did people get cancer and other illnesses (besides bacterial illnesses) before they had all of these industrial chemicals?
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Ya organic stuff are always better.Even though they might be expensive why risk children even after knowing the ill effects of this kind? Cancer was a problem even before these industrial chemicals came but after that it has become more common.

they say that everything causes cancer these days, even fruit! my mum has recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer and my grandad had a cancerous lump removed from his bowel a year ago. they are two of the healthiest eating people i know. in my opinion, they dont know what causes cancer and they would be better spending money on finding cures.
