Sudsy, soapy, bubbles that clean! Did you know that most (if not all) of our cleaning supplies contain detergents – even ones that clean your teeth or makeup that remains ON your skin throughout the day. Some big agency described detergents (or sodium laureth/lauryl sulfate) as a skin irritant that is okay as long as it is washed off immediately. Hmmm……. I bet these detergents are lingering longer than we realize. And, that is what this podcast is about: how common detergents are and what their effect is.

HealthyBratt, the forum moderator from www.welltellme.com is here with us today. She will answer questions like:  What is Sodium Laureth Sulfate (the most common household detergent)?  What does it do to the body?  And, how to avoid it?

Now, go look at your shampoo, liquid soaps, laundry detergent, and everything else to see if Sodium Laureth Sulfate or other detergents are on the ingredients list. You may be surprised!
