THE TOP 12 CANCER-CAUSING PRODUCTS—Commonly found in an average home
Many
personal hygiene products, cosmetics or cleaning supplies are cancer-causing
factors yet most of us have overlooked their side effects including the
manufacturers themselves, SmartKlean Blog reports.
‘Currently
corporations are labelling products without providing warning for cancer and
other health issues. They have chosen to hide this crucial information, in
turn, exposing people to health hazards unnecessarily,’ reads part of the
report.
Below
are some of the products that have potential to cause cancer as they comprise toxic
ingredients and contaminants to which most of us are exposed daily, thanks to
the Cancer Prevention Coalition (CPC), Ralph Nader, and SmartKlean Blog.
