It’s alarming but true – scientists and doctors have discovered that there is a connection between our health and the use of common everyday household chemicals. Since World War II, over 17,000 chemicals have been introduced into our household and personal care products. The typical home now contains over 63 hazardous products that together contain hundreds of different chemicals. Research indicates that it is more than a coincidence that the dramatic rise of various diseases has increased with the increased use of hazardous, man-made chemicals in the home.
