Various items in our homes are contaminated with harmful chemicals that can accumulate in your tissues and lead to toxic overload. The worst part is that these items can lead even to cancer.
Here we have 7 possible cancer causing products and household items that you should immediately replace with organic homemade or traditional products!
1. Shampoo
It is considered that household products are packed with at least one of the 12 most toxic chemicals, including parabens, sodium laureth sulfate, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives and p-phenylenediamine which are known as endocrine disruptors and carcinogens.
Fragrance, color, and cocamide diethanolamine are definitely the worst offenders when it comes to shampoo. The worst part is that these chemicals aren’t just in shampoo.
It is scientifically shown that 1 in 8 of the 82, 000 ingredients used in personal care products is toxic chemicals such as pesticides, carcinogens, hormone disruptors, and reproductive toxins.
2. Candles
Even though they have names like “strawberry shortcake” or “summer breeze”, scented candles are definitely not natural. Actually, most of these candles contain formaldehyde, an extremely harmful chemical that emits toxic fumes when heated.
Moreover, this chemical can cause irritation of the throat, nose, eyes and skin, as well as nausea, respiratory distress and even cancer. So, it is highly recommended to use completely natural beeswax candles.

Air fresheners and perfumes contain fragrance, which uses more than 3,000 chemicals in order to create a particular scent.
