I have asthma and am told to stay away from conventional products such as soap, shampoos, sunscreens, deodorants, toothpastes, and mouthwashes cause of the chemicals. I am told to STOP using dial soap, colgate toothpaste, right guard deodorant and head & shoulders and start using alternative products such as Toms of Maine and Aubrey and Dr Bronner products from a health food store that are "natural and safe." Im sorry but natural products DONT DO THE JOB when it comes to personal hygiene. I have tryed these natural products and they didnt get me clean and they did not keep body odor away for long. Not only that I tryed toms of maine toothpaste without floruide and i had two more cavities. the dentist told me to go back to uysing conventional toothpaste with fluoride.Is their any scientific evidence that these natural and alternative products are any safer or any better? I never hear of anyone getting cancer from dial soap or Colgate toothpaste. I think the Food and Drug and Administration regulates conventional products like dial and colgate and others to ensure their safety. I dont like spending $2.50 for a bar of Toms of Maine soap or Dr Bronners soap just because its "natural."Here is a website that says to focus more on natural products for safety..www.goodguide.com.I think alternative anything is a scam. I want scientific proof or facts to back up claims to make sure some products are unsafe and will cause cancer. Otherwise im going back to using conventional products. Anyone got any good websites or knowledge dubunking alternative myths? Does anyone agree with me? Whats your stance on "alternative products?" Waste of money or not?
