Indeed, human autopsy studies have shown that mineral oil widely permeates our internal organs; major moisturizer brands have been found to cause tumor formation in treated animals. All the more reason why we need healthy "food cosmetics" as alternatives to petroleum-derived body care products.</strong></em></p> <p>It boggles the imagination how most mass market body care products today are almost entirely composed of petroleum-derived chemicals, whose toxicity are thoroughly established. Take <strong><a href="/toxic-ingredient/parabens">parabens</a></strong> as an example. These endocrine-disrupting, estrogen-like petrochemicals have been found at concentrations <strong>1 million times higher </strong>than the estrogen (estradiol) levels naturally found in human breast tissue, leading to the highly concerning conclusion that <strong><a href="/blog/human-hormones-are-being-eclipsed-synthetic-chemicals">human hormones are now being eclipsed by synthetic chemicals</a>.</strong></p> <p>When we slather these chemical concoctions onto our skin, they enter directly into the lymphatic and circulatory systems, depositing in internal organs and body fat. And unlike things you ingest orally, there is no "gate keeping" liver there to protect you from these chemicals entering rapidly into your body through your skin. This is why, of course, <strong>you should never put on your body anything you can not, or would not eat.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/let-food-be-your-cosmetic-coconut-oil-outperforms-dangerous-petroleum-body-care" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/let-food-be-your-cosmetic-coconut-oil-outperforms-dangerous-petroleum-body-care#comments Coconut Oil Dry Skin Fungal Infection Tinea Pedis Crude Oil/Petroleum Mineral Oil Parabensm Tue, 07 May 2013 21:00:00 +0000 Sayer Ji 97130 at https://greenmedinfo.com
