Bleached white looks nice but does it kill ya?

Written by Concerned

White… ah. We all love the colour white. Actually I do believe its not a colour but a shade of gray if I recall correctly.

White coffee filters, white toilet paper, white tampons, what sugar, white, white, white! Does it all have to be white?

I think their is an unknown obsession with white items.. and its killing us.

Personally I don’t care what colour my sugar is as long as it tastes like sugar. As long as my coffee filter, filters my coffee I am good there too. Tampons, well I dont use them but them miss does and I have read and hear some things about the chemicals used in bleaching those and how it can and I am pretty sure she would not care if they were not white either.

This obsession with white is killing people and they just don’t see it.

Now the companies who make these items say to us “the chemicals that can leech out of the product are minimal and harmless in such small amounts”. That is if they say anything at all. Now lets take a minute and add up how many times a day you drink coffee, times that by the week, times that by the month, then times that by the year… you will see that it adds up to a MASSIVE NUMBER and a boatload of bad chemicals being put into your body.

Then add in other items you use during the day that have been bleached white with harmful chemicals like your toilet paper, tampons, and more.

See there is a much bigger picture here.. its not about just one thing. Its about a little bit of everythign adding up to a big problem.

So.. next time you go to get your coffee filters.. reach for the unbleached tan looking ones. When it comes to toilet paper.. get the recycled kind, since it ends up rather non white in the end anyways.

It will do your body good!

P.S. And don’t forget to tell your store manager your not a fool and to stop using the word ORGANIC and NATURAL as a reason to over price items and rip us off.
