Does sodium lauroyl cause cancer?Is sodium lauroy, an ingredient found in toothpaste and shampoo, harmful? l?
No. It's a myth.
This is another myth/hoax/urban legend. The American Cancer Society has this to say about 'sodium lauroy' (Sodium Laureth Sulfate):
';Shampoo
Rumor:
One chain email floating through cyberspace says a common ingredient in many health and beauty aids is known to cause cancer. The warning reads: 鈥淐heck the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see if they have this 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. 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, etc. contains this substance.';
Fact:
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and its chemical cousin sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) are known irritants, not known carcinogens. SLS and SLES are powerful surfactants (wetting agents) and detergents. They have industrial uses because they are detergents that exert emulsifying action, thereby removing oil and soil. There is no way of knowing where this Internet information comes from, but there are a variety of Web sites offering health and beauty products that are SLS-free. According to David Emery and his Urban Legends website, ';All these Web sites are maintained by 'independent distributors' for various multi-level marketing companies hawking natural personal care products. As a matter of fact, the majority of URLs returned in a standard Web search on the keywords 'sodium laureth sulfate' all point to versions of the same propaganda.';
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/conten鈥?/a>Is sodium lauroy, an ingredient found in toothpaste and shampoo, harmful? l?
Sodium laureate is a surfactant. It is the sodium salt of lauric acid, a short chain fatty acid found in coconut oil. It is harmless.
Sodium laurate?
Sodium lauryl sulfate?
These are simple detergents. They can be irritants (like all detergents), dry skin, and so on. There is no link with cancer.

Hi, There has been alot of concern about cancer-causing chemicals in personal care products. This is a reason why I started my blog, www.cincovidas.com, as a resource for cancer patients %26amp; survivors looking for safe %26amp; pure products. I have a list of 21 ingredients to avoid. Hope it helps - Britta Report Abuse
Probably not. i think excess amount of that could, but i think they only put a dab. i mean come on? if that really caused cancer, wouldn't they shut that company down? lol
The causes of cancer aren't known.
There's no scientific evidence that sodium laureth sulphate causes or contributes to cancer

Allergic to deodorant and some shampoos, what ingredient is it likely to be please?
Long --- BUT well worth the reading.
Make the connection!
I am a nurse with over 25 years experience in this area and I have seen a lot of people with various illnesses caused from chemicals and fragranced products as well as VOC鈥檚 in their homes, schools and workplace. This problem is growing as more and more chemicals are being introduced into the market and used on a daily basis.
We are now seeing more and more children and adults with Chronic Headaches, Migraines, Asthma, Allergies, Hives, Eczema, sinus / respiratory illnesses and Hormone related disorders. I can not emphasize how important it is to educate yourself about MCS (do a websearch for MCS) and the harm you may be doing to your health by using chemicals and fragranced products.
If you or a loved one suffers from Asthma, Allergies, Autism, chronic headaches, reproductive problems, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus or Fibromyalgia, you need to read further and learn about the signs and symptoms of MCS - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
Most doctors will not inform you about this because patients as a whole like to walk out of a doctors office with a prescription for some magical medicine and they do not want to be told that their expensive new perfume or newly installed carpet may be the culprit. So, the doctor will give you medications and many of these meds either do not work or cause other health problems.
Chemicals and fragranced products are often the root of all evil when it comes to your health. Many of the below mentioned items are common triggers to sinus, asthma, itching, headaches, Migraines and allergy problems amongst other health issues. Get rid of them and your lungs will thank you and you will breathe easier.
And, it is not only personal body or cleaning products causing havoc on your health鈥?many people become ill after wearing brand new clothing, dry-cleaned clothes, installing new carpet, painting, buying a new mattress or after home renovations because of the Flame Retardants, Benzenes, Formaldehydes, etc. used in these products. So the answer is NO, you are not imagining that 2 weeks after your home, office or classroom got renovated you started to become ill, get dizzy or have headaches. This is happening more and more these days and adults as well as children are becoming sicker and sicker.
Unfortunately, too many doctors compound the problem by prescribing chemical medications to try to alleviate the symptoms of an already chemical overloaded body and they rarely tell the patient to eliminate the chemical offenders. How many times have I seen people in the grocery store with Bounce, Glade Plug-Ins and Febreeze in their shopping cart along with a bottle of Benadryl , Migraine Excedrin and a box of Allergy Tablets ? Why don鈥檛 they make the connection?
Here is a Brain Spect Scan Before and after a whiff of perfume: http://www.ourlittleplace.com/spect.html
Keep in mind that your skin is the largest organ of your body and what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your body. Then ... well... then it has to be filtered by your organs which are already working real hard.
BIG NO-NO鈥檚 ---- I would SERIOUSLY recommend removing all of the below from your living / working area.
No Bounce or dryer sheets - these are VERY toxic
No Febreeze - your pets will even thank you for this
No Glade Plug-ins - VERY toxic
No scented candles
No Fragranced Products on Body, Hair or Clothing
No Smoke
No Newspapers and Magazines - The ink is a huge irritant.
No Dander
No Sprays
No Sharpies (marker pens)
New Cartpeting, mattresses, paint, contain toxins that can trigger severe respiratory disorders as well as headaches and Asthma flare-ups.
And remember, it is NOT the smell it is the Chemicals that make up the smell. So, even if something is ';Fragrance Free'; these products often mask the smell with another chemical ! There are plenty of safe healthy products out there that work well and do not have added chemical fragrances. Look on MCS sites if you need help finding them.
More and more workplaces %26amp; schools are creating 鈥淔ragrance Free Zones鈥濃€?why do you think this is? Make the connection, your lungs , immune system and your general health will thank you.Allergic to deodorant and some shampoos, what ingredient is it likely to be please?
I am allergic to TIDEAllergic to deodorant and some shampoos, what ingredient is it likely to be please?
go to a dermatologist or an allergist and ask for an allergy test. maybe they will narrow it down for you.
my guess is fragrance or lanolin, which is common in deodorant, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions
There are so many possible allergens in deodorants and shampoos that it's not funny.
Look mostly for scents, dyes, and preservatives.
Good luck!
Please tell us what the reaction is and it might narrow down the possibilities: sneezing, blisters, rash swelling, discoloration, difficulty breathing etc...
I am allergic to glycerin which is in many skin and beauty products. I get a nice crop of tiny itchy blisters after the 2nd or 3rd use of the product. Also in toothpaste which caused the skin on my lips to peel all the time. Pretty!
It could be a billion diff things...I am allergic to formaldehyde which is in lotions,shampoo,fingernail polish, deodorant, makeup, etc...
I only found out by getting a skin test done at the allergist. (I am also allergic to rubber -- as in rubber bands!! weird I know)
A skin test would be best.
remember allergies can continually get worse until one day you could go into shock

What types of natural ingredients or special shampoos dissolve cat feces?
Ok, I know that sounds really gross but my fat cat tends to get her poop stuck between the folds of her behind and it starts getting stuck in her hair. As a result, I have to bath her once every 3 to 4 weeks. I used normal cat shampoo (tried like 4 different kinds already) but it doesn't really get the poop out until I run a bath full of water and make her sit in it for a while until the poop softens up and I try to get it out.
So is there something safe I can put in that area to help dissolve the poop faster and better? Or is there a shampoo made especially for that?What types of natural ingredients or special shampoos dissolve cat feces?
Hey, gross happens. That's what cats are all about and what we're here to help with!
To start at the other end (pun intended), you should first address the issue of her loose stool. Cat poop should be firm enough that it doesn't leave skid marks behind. I won't go on and on about it, but briefly, it sounds as if something in your cat's diet disagrees with her. Most often this is grain which is present in many commercial cat foods, especially those from the grocery store. The solution for this is to feed grainless foods. Canned foods are much healthier than dry. If you do this, you may solve the problem.
Of course, it's also a good idea to have a fecal analysis done to rule out parasites or conditions that may also cause this.
If you decide to change foods, be sure to do so slowly as some cats don't take well to sudden changes in diet.
There are supplements you can add to the food which may help with this as well. But generally you should strive to find a food that will fix the problem by itself.
Next up - kitty brazilians. You may find cleanup easier if you keep her rear end shaved. Your vet may be able to do it or you can look for a groomer. In between times you might be able to keep the area clean just trimming it with a scissors. Shaving cats isn't something you should attempt yourself generally, as cat skin is very loose and you could end up with a bald and bloody cat.
You might want to invest in some wipes and use those daily or as needed. That should cut back on how much scrubbing you need to do. For those and for shampoos, because you'll be doing this frequently it would be best to get something that's very non-toxic and very green. Here are some suggestions:
EARTHBATH: http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=78鈥?/a>
GRANDPA'S: http://www.drugstore.com/qxp90233_333181鈥?/a>
BRONNER'S: http://www.drbronner.com/DBMS/BAB.htm
And finally, if you'd like to learn about a weight loss plan for cats that really works and would quite possibly solve all the problems, see this: http://runeamok.multiply.com/journal/ite鈥?/a>What types of natural ingredients or special shampoos dissolve cat feces?
Soaking the butt in hot water (not too hot for the cat) and then using a brush on it should break it up. I'd add some plain soap to the brush to help break up the cohesian, but then rinse the soap off very thoroughly.
You can email a persian breeder (find one online) and ask this too, in case there's some trick that works better.
you are gross how can you let her have poop stuck in there for 3 to 4 weeks!! you need to clean it more often That's the hair around her butt. That's like letting a baby on a dirty diaper for a week!
