The companies that manufacture our products, time and time again, have been found to disregard our overall safety by adding ingredients to their products that imperil our lives. The truth is, your well being doesn't matter. What matters is that they make their millions. The information is readily available to counteract these products. Here are 9 common household items that cause cancer.

1. Ajax cleaner.

Back in 1994, the Material Safety Data Sheet documented that Crystaline Silica is toxic, and yet even today, it's not labeled as such in products that carry it. Ajax brand cleaners, while perhaps effective, contains Crystaline Silica. CS is known to cause cancer as well as irritate your skin, eyes, and lungs.

2. Non-organic milk.

How is it that milk could be so bad for you? It just comes out of the cow and goes straight to you, right? Well, it's not that milk in and of itself is dangerous, but it's what goes into the cow that should cause alarm. Antibiotics, heptachlor, deildrin, hexachlorobenzene, DDT, rBGH, and IGF-1 are all fed to cows that don't live under strict organic label conditions. Each of these ingredients are carcinogenic among other things.

3. Flea collars.

Living in the Pacific Northwest means one thing: fleas. They're everywhere out here, so it's important to counteract them at all times. You might reach for a flea collar, but hold up and check the ingredients. Flea collars that contain Propoxur should be avoided. It is a neurotoxin and a carcinogen as well.

Having a dog who's allergic to flea bites makes flea mitigation super important. My vet recommended that I try a newish prescription drug called Bravecto. It lasts for 3 months, so you only need to reup quarterly, and I haven't seen a flea since I started on it. It's also non-toxic to pets at any dose. Check it out.
