Environmental toxins……skin, scalp, hair, all absorb the chemicals contained in whatever you put on them.
If you don’t want it in your blood stream, don’t put it on your skin, on your scalp, or in your hair. If you’re still buying your lotions, shampoos, conditioners, sun screens at a regular grocery store or drug store it may be time to head to Whole Foods Market or other health nut type of store for those.
If you insist on wearing sunscreens consider using Australian MacNut oil instead of the stuff that’s killing off cells in your liver that get overwhelmed when they filter the chemicals out of your blood stream.

“Aluminum chlorohydrate, the active ingredient in many antiperspirants, was labeled with the radioisotope 26Al.”

“……antibacterial soap products contain chemical ingredients, such as triclosan and triclocarban, which may carry unnecessary risks given that their benefits are unproven.”
“New data suggest that the risks associated with long-term, daily use of antibacterial soaps may outweigh the benefits,” Rogers says. There are indications that certain ingredients in these soaps may contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics, and may have unanticipated hormonal effects….”

“Consumers may think antibacterial washes are more effective at preventing the spread of germs, but we have no scientific evidence that they are any better than plain soap and water,” said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “In fact, some data suggests that antibacterial ingredients may do more harm than good over the long-term.”

Environmental toxins……the info below is consistent with what those of us in exercise physiology have seen in folks exercising. In an exercise physiology or environmental physiology lab, physiologists can put a port catheter into your arm, put you on a treadmill at 25% VO2 max so that your fat cells release free fatty acids from storage. A few minutes in, they’ll start doing blood draws from the catheter.
.
In those blood samples they’ll find elevated levels of free fatty acids. They’ll also find fat soluble chemicals that were stored in your fat cells along with the fatty acids.
Those chemicals are from the soaps, lotions, shampoos, sunscreens, etc. they all get dumped into your blood every time you exercise.
Obviously with 40 to 80 years of near daily to weekly use…..that stuff has to go somewhere. We don’t live in a magical universe where things disappear.

“…..researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in August and September of 2004 in U.S. hospitals.”
.
“The umbilical cord blood of these 10 children, collected by Red Cross after the cord was cut, harbored pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from burning coal, gasoline, and garbage.”

“Tests revealed a total of 287 chemicals in the group.”
