The top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than lead paint in Mattel toys
1.Mercury fillings
Often
called “silver fillings” to hide the fact that they’re made from
mercury, these highly toxic fillings are placed directly into the mouths
of children where they are inhaled (mercury vapor) and swallowed,
causing systemic mercury poisoning to the child and leading to long-term
neurological damage.Visit www. IAOMT. org and watch the “Smoking Teeth = Poison Gas” video to learn more.

2.Vaccines
Think
vaccines are safe? You’ve been hoodwinked by the popular media
parroting drug company propaganda. Vaccines are preserved with methyl
mercury, one of the most dangerous chemical forms of the toxic heavy
metal. This mercury is injected directly into the bodies of children
where it causes severe neurological damage. And yes, it does cause
Autism, despite what you’ve read in the dumbed-down press. Only a fool
would inject their child with mercury-preserved vaccines.

3.Hot dogs
Hot
dogs are made with horrifying processed meat parts (click here to see
shocking photos of processed meat products, then preserved with a
cancer-causing ingredient called sodium nitrite. As detailed in my book
Grocery Warning, this ingredient causes brain tumors in children, not to
mention leukemia, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and other cancers.Hot
dogs are far more dangerous to a child’s health than lead paint in my
opinion, and yet parents keep feeding them to their children!

4.Antibacterial soap
How
about a little nerve toxin in your soap? That’s what’s found in
antibacterial soap. It’s a toxic cocktail of chemicals designed to kill
life. That’s how it kills bacteria. The problem is that it also harms
people — especially infants and children who are trying to develop
healthy nervous systems. Avoid all products claiming to be
“antibacterial.” You’re better off using natural soap (like Dr.Bronner’s soap, www. DrBronner. com
) and letting your child’s immune system fight off common bacteria. The
world isn’t sterile, after all. You can’t turn your house into a
germ-free bubble.

5.ADHD drugs
Would
you give your child street drugs like speed or meth? Probably not, but
what if your doctor wrote you a prescription for speed and said your
child needed it because he was ADHD? If you’re like most parents, you’d
fall in step and start giving your child speed. But wait, you say: ADHD
drugs are not speed, are they? But of course they are. They belong to a
class of drugs called amphetamines. They used to be illegally sold as
speed. Now they’re prescription drugs, and they’re given to children in
schools all across America (and elsewhere). Psychiatrists and drug
companies are making a killing dosing up kids and infants on substances
that used to be considered illegal street drugs (and that have no
legitimate medical use whatsoever).

6.Sports drinks
For
some reason, parents irrationally believe sports drinks are healthy
because they contain the word “sports.” Didn’t they notice the neon
green artificial coloring? Sports drinks are, in my opinion, a
nutritional joke. Made from salt water, processed sweeteners and
petrochemical coloring, many of their ingredients are actually harmful.
Drinking water would be smarter, and feeding your child some healthy
trace minerals would be even better. Low on potassium? Eat a banana.

7.Cough syrup and over-the-counter medicines
Nearly
all children’s over-the-counter medicines contain multiple toxic
substances such as chemical sweeteners, preservatives and additives.
Cough syrup, in particular, has been scientifically proven to be
absolutely worthless in preventing coughs. Many “children’s” medicines
are actually more toxic than their adult counterparts because they’re
sweetened up and cosmetically enhanced with artificial colors made from
petrochemicals. Yet parents poison their children every day with
over-the-counter medicine.

8.Sunscreen
The
sunscreen industry is a huge scam. Most popular sunscreen products
actually cause skin cancer due to the numerous toxic chemicals they
contain (which are quickly absorbed into the skin where they cause DNA
mutations that lead to cancer). Even worse, sunscreen blocks the UV
radiation that allows the skin to manufacture all-important vitamin D —
the most powerful anti-cancer nutrient yet known to modern science. It
prevents over a dozen different cancers, yet parents block it by
slathering toxic sunscreen on their children, all while mistakenly
believing they’re “protecting their children from cancer!” What a scam.

9.Fluoride in the water
I’ve
always found it amazing that city water officials were dumb enough to
actually buy a toxic waste substance and arrange to have it dripped into
the public water supply where it would be ingested by infants and
children. The result? Mass fluorosis and toxicity to children
everywhere. Didn’t these people realize that fluoride only works
topically? (That is, it only works if you rub it on your teeth, then
spit it out, and even that only works if you’re using natural fluoride,
not the chemicals spit out as byproducts of the fertilizer industry,
which is what city water departments are buying and dripping into the
water supply.) Click here to see my CounterThink cartoon on this topic.

Whoever
heard of drinking a topical medication in the first place? It’s like
swallowing sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Even worse, putting this into
the public water supply effectively mass medicates everyone with a
bioactive chemical substance that no one has been given a prescription
for. This is all done with no regard for the level of natural fluoride
children might already be ingesting from other sources. The situation is
so crazy that it’s difficult to find a more insane example of medical
tyranny than the mass fluoridation of public water supplies. The fact
that doctors and dentists so vehemently support it demonstrates just how
crazy they really are.

10.Processed milk
Children
as young as 10 years old are now being diagnosed with heart disease and
clogged arteries. Ever wonder how it happened? It’s due in part, I
believe, to all the processed milk children are swallowing these days.
Not only is the milk contaminated with pus, blood and detectable levels
of pesticides and other chemicals, it’s also homogenized, meaning the
fats are artificially modified in a way that makes them stay in
suspension. This homogenization also makes milk fats dangerous to
cardiovascular health.While
I support the consumption of raw, unprocessed milk, I think that
consuming processed, homogenized milk is dangerous to the health of
infants, children and adults alike!

11.Fast food
Fast
food is extremely unhealthy for children. Not only are the foods often
fried, homogenized, hydrogenated and otherwise altered, they’re also
laced with chemical additives, taste enhancers, processed sugars,
petrochemical food coloring and other unhealthy substances. Strangely,
many parents actually reward their children for good behavior by buying
them unhealthy fast food meals, thereby creating a psychological
association between good feelings and junk food. (Fast food restaurants
further exploit this psychological link by building playgrounds and
running feel-good advertisements that emphasize friends and fun, then
link those good vibes to their food products.)

12.Antidepressant drugs
Children
as young as six months old are now being put on psychotropic drugs such
as SSRIs (antidepressants). These drugs, we now know, cause suicidal
thoughts and violent behavior, especially in young boys. They imbalance
brain chemistry and even alter the body’s metabolism of sugar, promoting
diabetes and leading to rapid weight gain. These drugs are so dangerous
that feeding them to children should be considered a crime. Every
single school shooting involving a child in the United States in the
last 15 years has been linked to antidepressant drug use.Need I say more?

13.Chemical laundry detergents
Parents
are shown fancy ads on television depicting how wonderful and clean
their clothes will be if they wash them in brand-name laundry detergent.
What they’re not shown, however, is the toxicity of all the synthetic
chemicals that go into most laundry detergent products. The fragrance
chemicals alone are often carcinogenic, and they’re just as bad for the
environment as they are children’s health. A new alternative has
appeared, however: Soap berries! It’s laundry soap that grows on trees.We offer it at www. BetterLifeGoods. com

14.Flame retardant chemicals
Did
you know that new mattresses for infants and children are often sprayed
with extremely toxic flame retardant chemicals? These are easily
absorbed through the skin of infants and children where they contribute
to numerous neurological disorders and immune suppression. Many clothing
products are also sprayed with flame retardants, as are some carpeting
products. In the push to make everything fireproof, state regulators
(who have mandated the flame retardant chemicals in states like
California) have created a toxic environment for everyone. I suppose if
you’re a politician, it’s always better for a million people to die of a
mysterious disease that can’t be linked to you than to have one baby
burning up on the evening news with fingers of blame pointed directly at
you.

15.Soda
Aside
from directly promoting diabetes and obesity, sodas also contain high
amounts of phosphoric acid, a substance that dissolves bones and causes a
loss of bone mineral density. This causes massive tooth decay as well
as a shrinking jaw bone and overall skeletal fragility. Diet sodas are
even worse, since they contain chemical sweeteners linked to
neurological disorders and learning disabilities.

16.Air fresheners
Air
fresheners contain cancer-causing chemicals. Unleashing them in the
house exposes children to these chemicals, promoting asthma and other
respiratory problems. If you value the health of your children, avoid
air freshener products and just use essential oils or citrus peels
instead. (Peel an orange and hang the peel in your kitchen.)

17.Synthetic vitamins
Many
children’s vitamins are made with cheap, synthetic “vitamin” chemicals
that actually harm people who take them. Plus, many are loaded up with
artificial colors, sucrose and chemical sweeteners. Avoid cheap,
store-bought children’s vitamins or anything containing cyanocobalamin
(a toxic form of vitamin B12).Quality children’s vitamins are available through sources like Nordic Naturals (fish oils) and www. IntegratedHealth. com (also check www. WellnessResources. com for high-quality supplements).

18.Dryer sheets
Most
popular dryer sheets and fabric softeners are made with toxic synthetic
chemicals that are not safe to use on children’s clothing. The
fragrance chemicals alone are often highly carcinogenic, and the other
chemicals contribute additional toxicity to the clothing. Children’s
clothes should never be washed or dried in chemicals. Only use natural
detergents and fabric softeners, or avoid the fabric softeners
altogether.

19.Bacon
Most
bacon and sausage are processed meat products made with sodium nitrite
(like the hot dogs, above) and contaminated with various chemicals
lodged in the animal fats. Conventionally-raised beef, pork and chicken
products are, in my opinion, extremely toxic to the human body and
contribute to colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and many
other diseases and disorders. If you make meat for your children, shop
for 100% organic, free-range, antibiotic-free meats that have no
nitrites or nitrates.
