Have you seen all the recent news concerning food dyes posing risks including hyperactivity in children? We believe this may in fact be related to aluminum in the dyes. Manufactures have been using aluminum and alums salts as food colorings and as inexpensive fillers in drinks, food, medicines and even cosmetics for years. Any governmental guidelines for the uses of aluminums in the US is almost non-existence, which is what has led to the outbreak of news. As follows:
– New York Times.
Food coloring is just the tip of the iceberg as aluminums are ubiquitous, and products containing man-made aluminum should carry a warning to safeguard all of us – from children to the elderly.
Aluminum toxicity is not new, and it is arguably one of the world’s most serious ecotoxicants. Recently scientists worldwide have been studying the impact of aluminum accumulation and its resulting burden on the body. In fact, in February Herbalix attended the Ninth Keele Meeting in Ontario, Canada in February — “Aluminium and Life: Living in the Aluminium Age.”
Through our extensive research of the underarm (axilla) and aluminum, we have developed the first of its kind non-aluminum deodorant called the Cleansing Detox Deodorant™ for nighttime use, made with certified organic ingredients. Formulated to attract, absorb and cleanse bacterium and metal ions, including aluminum, from the underarms, detoxifying ingredients work at night and provide six to eight hours of safe and efficient absorption of accumulated debris and odors.
An aluminum-free deodorant, The Herbalix Restoratives’ Cleansing Detox Deodorant absorbs excess sweats, allowing the release of impeded waste fluids such as alum salts, allows healthy lymphatic flow, and cleanses the skin of all types of aluminums, while encouraging a reduction in daytime odors.
Toxins are filtered through the body’s waste but some are not released as easily and are stored in the body; specifically in one area – the underarms. Even if a person doesn’t use deodorants or antiperspirants, aluminum is abundant in our world, found in air, food, water, fertilizer, body care products, automobiles, medicines (vaccines), and food dyes. In addition, numerous studies have shown that various ingredients in everyday household products, and even personal care items, are linked to everything from cancer to learning deficits, according to the Environmental Working Group.
