I have heard from many sources that lauryl and laureth sulfates are very hazardous. True or not? I am more willing to believe it is true than dismiss it, as there are so many pervasively used harmful chemicals in nearly every packaged food or mass distributed product. Look at MSG. It kills brain cells. It can be found in nearly all packaged food. It has numerous names, and actually has no requirement by the FDA to be named on the label. Look at soybean oil. It is in every baked food you can buy. Canola oil is toxic, and is advertized as a health product. You cannot buy a baby formula without soybean oil and other harmful ingredients, yet it is impossible to buy in the US a baby formula with the essential fatty acids added. So brain development is not complete with formula fed babies. I know outside of the US there are some brands available. In the US baby formula has that seeweed product which inflames the intestines. Where are all the consumer awareness programs that we used to watch as a nation with great interest during the '70's??? I know they were popular. Is not the greatest thing about the internet is that the big money interests cannot prevent the dissemination of information which could damage their bottom line?
Sodium and ammonium lauryl/laureth sulfate are thickening agents which make the liquid soaps appear to have greater volume than they actually have. All they do is play a mind trip on the consumer to make it appear that they are getting more soap than they actually are.
