WIll it be a better choice to list what are in Neways and Newlife's products comparing those in Forever Living ones?

It'll be better for people to understand why choose this and not that. Wink

Most chemicals are no good to body and health in long term. Some are harmless in very small amount. Whether will it result in cancers, etc, it'll depend on other factors too. In addition, when purchasing food or supplements, please check too. Consumption is more deadly than application. Laughing

Cancer arises from a single cell that has become abnormal & that multiples & multiples until a solid mass of tissues or a tumour is formed.

[b]While cancer cannot kill as suddenly as heart attack or stroke, by the time it is usually discovered the internal damage to vital organs is greater[/b], so that far sterner measures are required to reverse it. It is easier to clear blocking arteries by diet than it is to clear a malignant growth

Cancer is not a disease that you get overnight through usage of toxin chemicals in personal care products. These toxins enter your life in the form of mineral oil, emulsifiers, solvents, synthetic colours and artificial fragrance, and they accumulate over time, thus increase your risk of getting cancer.
