What You Don't Know CAN Kill You

Just got this through my personal email. The take-home message is this - environmental factors, even unasuming ones, can and do effect your health. Yes, I want you to please make changes when you fire up your car, but I want to also get you thinking and possibly even looking into other things that may affect your health. Some examples might include fire-retardent bed mattresses, cell phones, the carpet in your house, the soap, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, and lotion that you put directly on your skin...EVERYTHING and ANYTHING! Lots of consumer products are chemically treated or have harmful toxins in them, emit radiation-type waves through your body, etc. Sounds extreme and I don't know as you should be so neurotic about these things that they ruin your life but I want you to get in the mindset where you're able to make conscious, educated decisions that will positively effect your health and the health of your loved ones.

Car Air-conditioning - MUST READ !!!

No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from, but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer-causing incidents.
Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, seven days a week. As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill.
Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Guess it's not too late to make some changes.
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car. Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.
Here's why:
According to research, the car dashboard, sofa and air freshener emit Benzene, a cancer-causing toxin (carcinogen).
Take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car. In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.
Prolonged exposure will cause leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. It can also cause miscarriage. Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq ft.
A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.
People who get into the car keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.
Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.
So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for the interior air to dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.
Thought: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'
