Washing your Hair with WHAT?????

[connie B Berto <cberto@juno.com>]

Hello to All,  My sister sent me this from New York.   It's too serious
not to share.   Check your shampoo bottles .      Connie B (CA)

> Check the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see if they
have a substance by the name of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or simply
SLS. This substance is found in most shampoos, and the manufacturers
use it because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap. BUT the
fact is that SLS is used to scrub garage floors, and it is very strong.

> It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run, and this
is no joke. I went home and checked my shampoo (Vidal Sasoon); it
doesn't contain it; however, others such as Vo5, Palmolive, Paul
Mitchell, the new Hemp Shampoo .. contain this substance. The first
ingredient listed (which means it is the single most prevalent
ingredient) in Clairol's Herbal Essences is Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

> So I called one company, and I told them their product contains a
substance that will cause people to have cancer.  They said, "Yeah,
we knew about it but there is nothing we can do about it because we
need that substance to produce foam." By the way Colgate toothpaste
also contains the same substance to produce the "bubbles."  They said
they are going to send me some information. Research has shown
> that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer was 1 out of 8000 and
now, in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1 out of 3, which
is very serious.

> So I hope that you will take this seriously and pass this on to all
the people you know, and hopefully, we can stop "giving" ourselves
the cancer virus.  This is serious, after you have read this, pass
it on to as many people as possible, this is not a chain letter, but
it concerns our health.
