30 Ways You Can Poison Yourself Before Breakfast
or... Why Some People Feel Bad, Get Sick, Even Die!

Reference: The Politics of Poison by Nina G. Silver, Ph.D., 2000, government agencies, and medical institutions, and product manufacturers

If a product has a warning on the label, it is poison! What is the cumulative effect on our health after using many, many products that contain small amounts of dangerous poisonous chemicals?

Spending every night breathing vapors from chemical poisons in the mattress or pillow and sleeping between sheets washed in poison, a typical U.S. male might start the day grooming with a shower, shave, and using colognes in an enclosed area using products containing poisonous ingredients; he then dresses with clothes washed in poison. According to the U.S. Government and the product manufacturers, the following is only a partial list chemical poisons found in personal care products, not common household cleaners, that are inhaled and absorbed by the body before you even eat breakfast! Do you think these poisons might also cause our children to have health problems?
