The Dangers of NanoParticles in your cosmetics!

in mid-2008, the British Royal Commission report warned that products that contain nanoparticles pose very, very high toxic risks,” Epstein says.

Many products can also contain other toxic ingredients, such as allergens, toxic hormonal ingredients, and known carcinogens such as:

•Ethylene oxide
•Dioxane
•Nitrosamines
•Formaldehyde
•Acrylamide
These are known carcinogens, and should not be present in anything you slather on your skin. Epstein says:

“… the evidence which we’ve accumulated so far, is largely restricted to the fact that they [nano particles] get into your bloodstream and reach organs throughout your body.
And as far as the brain is concerned, we have actual evidence of entry into the brain and producing toxic effects -- lesions, small lesions, toxic effects in the brain.”
This is an excerpt from an article about the dangers of nanoparticles and other toxins in our cosmetics from Dr. Mercola's website. If you've ever been around someone with Parkinson's disease or some of the other brain-disorder conditions you know you don't want to go there if you don't have to. Not saying there's a connection to Parkinson's but it seems like the direction those toxins might take one or something like that. Good grief. For the whole article go to http://www.mercola.com/
