"Ten Americans": We all know pollution and toxins are bad for you. But the Environmental Working Group has conducted perhaps the deepest analysis of this issue on the most vulnerable demographic on the planet.

As an avid researcher for my son’s recovery from autism, I can attest that these facts are actual. Wish I had saved my son’s placenta to know what chemicals were in his system. A year ago, our family was using toxic cleaning chemicals, eating non-organic food, etc. We have completely gone to the other side in order to save our son. Autism recovery is possible, but not without wisdom and sacrifice! Just wish I had known about all of this while I was pregnant with him. Thank you, EWG! Keep up the excellent work!

Thank you EWG for bringing this most important health issue to the public’s awareness. So glad a third party representation of the facts about chemicals in our daily used personal care and beauty cosmetics. I am the Director of the Cancer Prevention Coalition for Los Angeles and give seminars to the public on awareness of avoidable risks of cancer and illness from daily used chemicals.

Excellent video - it does show that personal care products can significantly add to your total chemical load.
