the problem is if you tell anyone the truth about this they will just laugh in your face and say I'm crazy...that is the real problem !! I've tried telling people on many occasions but instead of checking it out they say it's ridiculous and that the gov. would never let this happen. Why is cancer so prolific in this world ??
The chemicals are literalley killing us.

In the western world products a sacred. Human life has no worth compared to products. Don't mess with ingredients or your ass is on the line. The producers of BDP and other hazards are not pleased with this kind of report. The federal government is a fake. Hollow women and men paid by the industry to act in their interest and sponsored by consumers.

EWG is great, I subscribe to their newsletter! Check out my video about high fructose corn syrup in sports drinks you might like it. I plan on making more videos exposing companies maybe I'll consider doing one on carmine beetles like lodengreeneyes pointed out!

I'm more concerned about Carmine(and its other names)...which is crushed red beetles, that are put into not only various cosmetics, bath gels, lotions BUT foods! It has been scientifically established that there are sideeffects(uncommon, but still exist)such as allergic reactions, hives, palpitations/irregular heart beats.

Also, gasses that rise from new carpeting, house paints, shellacs(made from insects too),glues,wallpapers,car/truc k/bus/train/airplane emissions.

Yuck, beetles. And you're right about all the off-gassing from paints and adhesives and the like. Still, it's just unreal that people *intentionally* dose themselves (and the people around them) with allergens every day.

What?! Doesn't the FDA regulate this stuff?? This is crazy.
