Subject: FW: CANCERplz plz read this its about cancer check ur shampoosESPECIALLY>herbal essences. Go home and check your shampoo.Change it before it's too late... Check theingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see they have asubstance by the name of SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, or simplySLS. This substance is found in most shampoos, and themanufacturers use it because it produces a lot of foam and>it is cheap. BUT the fact is that SLS is used to scrubgarage floors,and it is very strong. It is also proven thatit can cause cancer in the long run, and this is no>joke. I went home and checked my shampoo (Vidal Sassoon); itdoesn't contain it; however, others such as Vo5,Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, l'Oreal, the new Hemp>Shampoo from Body Shop etc contain this substance. The first>ingredient listed (which means it is the single most>prevalent ingredient) in Clairol's Herbal Essences isSodium Laureth Sulfate. So I called one company, and>I told them their product contains a substance that>will cause people to have cancer. They said, Yeah we >about it but there isnothing we can do about it because weneed>that substance to produce foam. By the way colgate>toothpaste also contains the same substance to produce thebubbles". They said they are going to send me someinformation.Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of gettingcancer is 1out of 8000 and now, in the 1990s, the chances>of getting cancer is 1 out of 3, which is>very serious. So I hope that you will take this seriously and>pass this on to all the people you know, and hopefully, we>can stop "giving" ourselves the cancer virus. This is serious,after you have read this, pass it on to as many people aspossible, this is not a chain letter, but it concerns our>health.
