Fabric softener is highly carcinogenic. The synthetic fragrances used to make it are from petrochemicals. There are over 4000 chemicals to pick from when making a fragrance. Any one fragrance added to your fabric softener is made up of about 400 chemicals. EPA researches the chemicals for human health effects one by one, not in combination. Of the 50 chemicals submitted for "approval" each month by the EPA, only 12% get tested for toxicity. Of those 12%, 80% are carcinogenic (cancer causing). The tests that are used are negotiotiable with the industry creating the chemicals.
The Cosmetic Toiletry and Fragrance Assoc is the lobbying group for the fragrance industry lobbies to protect the "trade secrets" of these fragrances, which when used in combination are likely much more toxic than used alone. (like corexit used in the Gulf oilspill...together with the sweet crude oil (the kind that leaked) produce a double whammy. Sweet crude oil is more volatile than other kinds of oil that is drilled, therefore the by products are more easily carried into the air currents and brought on land.
Fragrances (synthetic) are immune suppressors, neurological inhibitors, and endocrine disruptors. If you say "you gotta die of something" then please consider that you are not just effecting your own life but all aquatic life and microorganisms, as these chemicals are flushed from your bodily wastes (shower and toilet) and your washing machine and into bodies of water where, as an aquatic toxicolosist friend of mne told me, are causing male fish to exhibit female traits. Maybe that's where we are headedfor those who don't care..make your self sterile so you can't reproduce the same ignorant non caring off spring. Perfect solution.
