                                            In 1996 Dr Darbre lead a study that biopsied 20 breast cancer tumors.  In each,  the presence of paraben chemicals were found.   This study blew apart the then held belief that the paraben chemicals used as preservatives were excreted from the body thru urine.  Rather, the chemical remained in the tissues of the body.   Today,  it is known that parabens are estrogenic among a myriad of other effects.  
Fragrance is a term that houses nearly 3k chemicals many of which have not been tested for environmental impact let alone human body impact.   Many of them being central nervous system disruptors, carcinogenic, and formaldehyde releasors.  Yet this ingredient can be found on nearly every body and beauty product.   
LOW-TOX is a term that I've recently seen on social media and its caught my attention.  Is it the premise to say that "a little bit here, and a little bit there" is OK because,  "it's just a little bit?"  We watched the world go crazy a few years ago over Bleach and it makes me wonder if people really ACTUALLY understand what is in the conventional products we use DAILY. Many of which contain ingredients that are not expelled from the body but rather, are stored in the tissues.   Are we reading the labels AND understanding them?  Or is it the term that helps us feel better about using toxic conventional beauty products because "hey,  I'm cleaning my floor with vinegar and it's all about balance."
LOW-TOX should be the term used while in the transition of transforming your home to a NON-toxic one.   Can anyone ever be 100%? I'm honestly not sure,  there is always going to be things outside of our control.  
HOW TO TRANSITION YOUR HOME: 
You can go room by room which many prefer or, you can start with the things that have the biggest family impact. Think about air fresheners, anything sprayed into the air or on surfaces. Those products affect everyone.   Then select a few more items every calendar quarter (take this 3 months at a time)  and within a few years,  you will have made one of the most rewarding transitions for your health.
