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

You\u2019re sleeping, rejuvenating, and detoxing for 8-10 hours in plastic petroleum frens

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
