Antifreeze anyone...

I don't know about you but I would never go out to the garage, grab the antifreeze and drink a cap full of it! I think we'd all agree that's just plain crazy!! Right?! So would you be surprised if I told you that you were absorbing antifreeze into your body several times each and every day??

Now, with that in mind let's for a minute explore what most of us do on a typical day...

We wake up... go in the bathroom grab the toothpaste brush our teeth, hop in the shower, lather up rinse off, jump out and put on lotion, get dressed, grab a Nutri Grain bar and get the day rollin'.

Did you know in that short amount of time you have managed to brush, lather, rub & eat a pretty fair amount of antifreeze, which has now found it's way into you bloodstream to be distributed throughout your entire system? Don't believe me??...Run on in to Wal-Mart, grab yourself a bottle of antifreeze, and read the label. The orange colored RV antifreeze is the one that will say propylene glycol. The others will say ethylene glycol.

Then go back home and read every label in your house on the products you either consume, or rub on your body...I bet you'll be surprised to what you'll find!

Be aware that PEG (polyethylene glycol) is actually the same thing too. It's just a different chemical structure.
