The average child is exposed to over 200 chemicals every day
Children are exposed to over 200 chemicals every day
Most are found in baby products we use on them every day. These harmful chemicals are in the ingredients of every day products that are applied directly to the skin, the body’s largest organ. Chemical exposure and the buildup of toxic chemicals in our children are linked to the rise in child cancers, learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, growth problems, skin problems and much, much more.
Toxic-Free-BabyEvery Day Products Are Full Of Dangerous Chemicals

We come into contact with more than 500 chemicals and toxins every day. There and approximately 200 chemicals in the average person’s body fat. It’s not a question of if we are carrying toxic compounds… but how much!
Chemical companies do NOT have to prove safe…
The federal Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), is so weak that it has prevented EPA from banning asbestos, a known human carcinogen responsible for the deaths of 10,000 people every year. The failed federal toxics law is primarily to blame for the widespread contamination. The 1976 act does not require manufacturers to prove through scientific tests that chemicals are safe for humans and the environment before going on the market. There are currently more than 80,000 chemicals in consumer goods, with little or no safety information about their impact on human health. There is increasing evidence that we must test and regulate potentially toxic substances that wind up in our bodies.
“Each time we look for the latest chemical of concern in infant cord blood, we find it,” said Anila Jacob, M.D., EWG senior scientist
Tests by EWG the Environmental Working Group found as many as 232 chemicals in newborns cord blood.
Laboratory tests commissioned by Environmental Working Group (EWG) have detected bisphenol A (BPA) for the first time in the umbilical cord blood of U.S. newborns. The tests identified the plastics chemical in 9 of 10 cord blood samples.
The findings provide hard evidence that U.S. infants are contaminated with BPA beginning in the womb.
Additional tests conducted by five laboratories in the U.S., Canada and Europe found up to 232 toxic chemicals in the cord blood samples.
Childhood cancerThe EWG study that shows over 200 chemicals are found in newborn babies cord blood, sheds a disturbing light on a toxic substance we are exposed to daily. This time, it’s childbearing aged women and the potential harm to their unborn children. The results of this study are shocking. The EWG study is frightening. Even more frightening is the fact that we do not have an understanding of how the presence of synthetic chemicals in the body affects children throughout their lives. My wife and I have been deeply concerned about this issue for years. We are all exposed to chemicals in the food we eat, the air we breathe, the products we use and the water we drink, but a baby in the womb should be allowed to develop free from chemical pollutants.
Right now, Congress is considering a ban on BPA in food and beverage containers. Babies are being born already contaminated with BPA. What more compelling evidence could we possibly need to prompt immediate action?
