chemicals (read: A substance with a distinct molecular composition that is produced by or used in a chemical process.

i have been receiving a lot emails about bad chemicals in food, personal care products even baby products and it became increasingly a lot these days. latest, i receive this email that says the content (one of the main content i tell u) of most shampoos in market are actually harmful to our health.doink~ and to think that i am a shampoo-hopper(what can i say my hair’s a sport LOL) sure scare the he*l outta me..i mean u can live life dangerously, pero mi amor,only to certain extent..

and i quote the content of the email i received:-

“…All these Shampoos use a chemical called SLS which is actually a floor cleaner. They are used so as to produce more foam.
Imagine what a floor cleaner can do to you hair and scalp. It will damage the very roots of your scalp.
Check out for SLS in toothpaste too!!!
Use the ones which are free from this extremely harmful chemical.
Type in “SLS Free Shampoo” or “SLS Free Toothpaste” in Google.com to get a list of companies selling safe products…”

Hows that for an eye opener? there are some shampoospics attached to the emails but i dont want to get sued so u guys might wanna check the Google yea.. i mean my ibu is an avid organic product comsumer now (and she sells them too .p/s: Oprah  is a big fan of the products as well ~wink~) and ibu is now always finding reason and time to preach on the chemicals we are actually ‘consuming’ in our foods, the utensils we used as well as other products we use daily.( i get free organic stuffs from ibu so .. OK lah hehe and so far, i am getting good results from the consumptions!kudos to my ibu~)

a day one month ago when i came back from work, tired and starving, i decided to have some instant noodle (read:MAGGI)

and being the lazy person (at times we should let our id rules aight?) i am that day, i decided to just ‘rendam’ the maggi instead of cooking it (sometimes 2 mins is way too short of a period to mess with the cooking utensils LOL)..i looked for a perfect bowl to put my dear maggi inside and whaddya know, i found this cute yellow bowl with Maggi’s logo written on it. huhu so i used it.. ibu saw me hovering over the Maggi using that bowl and she simply went berserk.. scolding me that i am not only eating the Maggi but actually eating the chemicals from the bowl that is ’swept’ off the bowl by the hot water. i just finish my Maggi fast and wash the bowl (secretly hoping ibu wont throw the bowl away hehe)..why would people want to create a bowl for Maggi when it’s actually unusable rite?all these while we have been using a lot of plastic products (yup the yellow bowl is made of plastic)..

but receiving the email about the shampoo changed my opinion on these sorta things, chemical and stuff..  there are harmful products out there(make X FILES sound effects)..maybe the maggi people who made the bowl didnt (or pretend not to know) know that the bowl exudes chemical into the food when countered with heat..now we are only using ceramics and Tupperware®  at home. ayah throw away the bowl (sad~! now i cant make make the infamous yellow Maggi bowl stance hihi) but honestly i am glad he did. i can be stubborn sometimes and might still use the bowl..

as for the shampoo, i bought one big bottle of a commercial shampoo and a few days later i received the email (thanx dear Ann for the enlightenment)..i am so darn torn apart from using the shampoo or not coz to tell u the truth the bottle is pretty big(and its kinda mahal also..sigh~) and so sayang to throw it away.. ibu say can use for washing car HAHA..see firstly lah.. i might convince ibu to get extra bottle of that organic shampoo for us($$..ka-ching!)..i went to one of the shopping complex in town a coupla days ago with my bro to look for keyboards and singgah a minute at the Guardian and checked all the shampoos on shelves. even this ayuverdic product i am using for facial care has SLS in its shampoo (uwaaa~)

maybe i shoud consider washing my hair with the slimey bunga raya ‘juice’.. (thats how umi aida gets her lovely mane u know).. hehe.. only if i cant stand the smell though..~

anyways, i am glad i blog about this coz i think we should share this kinda things..not only we remind ourselves about the danger of chemical in our foods, clothes,personal cares and stuff but but not using these products, we are helping each other taking are of mother Earth u know..

so.. fikir²kanlah..dan selamat menajga kesihatan..
