TOXIC HOUSEHOLD ITEMS/PRODUCTS
In this thread, I’ll go over why each product is bad, natural alternatives/brands you can trust, and ways to make things at home if possible
(MEGA Thread)

Many of these are very easy/cheap swaps and can be ordered from Amazon.
Please feel free to leave brands in the comments that you trust as well. Also, I am in no way affiliated with ANY of these products listed.
Anyway, let’s begin:
Nonstick pans get their slippery texture from PFAs and PFCs which are high toxic. When heated, multiple chemicals are released into the air and food, including PFOA which is linked to thyroid disease, cancer, and much more.
My go to for higher heat is stainless steel. My favorite brand all-clad, which is great quality and will last forever. https://t.co/4KBFVVGYVc
Many common soaps and shampoos contain parabens, fragrances, phthalates as well as many other harmful ingredients. These are endocrine disruptors, carcinogens and are toxic to the environment.
Here is a great article on making soap at home for a cheaper option https://t.co/HBPYj8kjxt
Most deodorants contain aluminum which blocks your pores from sweating (not good). They also contain parabens & fragrance just like soap, and much more.
My favorite brand of deodorant is this. It is cheaper than most brands as well. https://t.co/H4MkhvR1LZ
Dissolve magneisum chloride flakes in distilled water, and you can optionally add a few drops of lavender essential oil.
Most lotions out there contain BHA, DMDM hydantoin, fragrance, parabens, and more. Many of these are carcinogenic as well.
The absolute BEST moisturizer out there is tallow balm by @Man_with_a_van Get it here: https://t.co/kN963Rim1O
Many toothpastes contain fluoride, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulphate, propylene glycol and artificial sweeteners, which all can cause adverse health effects.
A great brand of floss is: https://t.co/sW16wauB7g
There are many great activated charcoal flosses out there as well.
Many laundry detergents contain
SLS and SLES, phosphates, formaldehyde, chlorine and more.
Branch basics makes a great laundry kit with a fraction of the ingredients of most detergents out there https://t.co/7tidO1LP0i
Branch basics makes amazing natural cleaners https://t.co/QG7PsZOXvs
SPF also blocks the absorption of vitamin D which is very harmful!

For drinking water, ideally you’d use a reverse osmosis filter, but those can be very expensive. If nothing else just try to drink good quality spring water.
It absorbs through your skin AND you inhale it while being in a steamy shower.
Most candles are made from a petroleum waste product which creates benzene and toluene when heated, both of which are carcinogens.
Soy candles are ok, but beeswax candles are even better. My go to brand is Big Dipper Wax works https://t.co/9rb5BERlrf
Polyester is made from petroleum, which can be very harmful. If you spend all day wearing it and all night sleeping in it, the damage can add up. Switch to organic cotton, linen and silk.
If you\u2019re trying to get rid of polyester in your life, besides underwear the first thing you should swap out is your bedding
— Juliana Lung \u9f8d\u97f5\u6021 (@JulianaLung) March 3, 2022
You\u2019re sleeping, rejuvenating, and detoxing for 8-10 hours in plastic petroleum frens

Further Examination of the Motif near PRRA Reveals Close Structural Similarity to the SEB Superantigen as well as Sequence Similarities to Neurotoxins and a Viral SAg.
The insertion PRRA together with 7 sequentially preceding residues & succeeding R685 (conserved in β-CoVs) form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains
