Vaccines contain Formaldehyde and we shoot them directly into our children’s bloodstream.  Does that mean that formaldehyde is actually okay? Or should we be perhaps thinking twice about doing that?

Thanks for this info.  Actually- you left off baby wipes!  The “natural” brands are using sodium hydroxymethylglycinate which is linked to formaldehyde.  I think people have no idea.

This is very important information and Debra Lynn Dadd is the authority!

Formaldehyde is a highly toxic substance. It is a known cancer-causing agent. It damages the neurological connectors in the body. It is an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs.

Formaldehyde is commonly found in:  drugs,  mouthwash, hairspray, cosmetics, cleaning products,  perfumes, waxes, hair setting lotions, shampoo, air fresheners, fungicides,  fingernail polish, floor polishes, dry cleaning solvents, toothpaste, laundry spray starch, antiperspirants … just to name a few. 

Do you use any of these products?  I was totally shocked when I learned this; who would ever know?  Especially when the word “formaldehyde” doesn’t even appear on the label.

I hope everyone who reads this Q & A tells someone else about it.  People need to look for safer choices in their personal care and cleaning products.
