I often get asked what is "the worst" chemical common in everyday products that you "most" want to avoid.

Directly below ↓ I concisely spotlight what is at least one of the worst toxicants -- and the home products you most need to beware of that often contain it.

First, though, Jim, and with all the enthusiasm I can muster...

After you learn about the toxicant below, please do not allow yourself to miss this free new What ACTUALLY Causes Cancer guide for you here.

This exceptional guide reveals what research (not hearsay) confirms are the top causes of cancer in your home, your diet, and more...

...And many will be news to you (you will also find out why you don't hear much about these surprising causes, including why most doctors don't even mention it!)

Even better, along with the eye-opening What Actually Causes Cancer guide, you'll get entirely free access to any and all of Conquering Cancer: The Missing Link in their free weekend replay (I'll share a bit more on that at the end).

The Group 1 Human Carcinogen in Our Products

There are many thousands of chemicals in our cosmetics, food, supplements, cleaning supplies, furniture, and more that you want to avoid.

That's why I'll share the most important advice with you here at the start:

Look for respected certifications -- granted independent of the company -- that confirm a given product is free of, or at least greatly reduces concerns about, all the toxicants.

For example, for new furniture, look for certifications such as GREENGUARD.

For cleaning products, look for the GREEN SEAL certification.

For cosmetics, food, and supplements, look for USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC.

With that noted, though, what is at least one of the "worst offender" chemicals that is very common in many home products?

Formaldehyde.

Yes, this is the same chemical you may recall from biology class -- and still used in embalming at funeral homes.

And let's get to the two most disturbing parts:

One, formaldehyde is extremely common in everyday products (you will see top products below).

Two, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) now classifies formaldehyde as a Group 1 human carcinogen.

What does "Group 1" mean?

It means it is not just probably carcinogenic to humans (that would be a Group 2A).

Group 1 means it is an agent that is KNOWN to cause cancer in humans.

(By way of comparison, some other Group 1 carcinogens are tobacco smoking... processed meat... and asbestos).

Now, its strong link to cancer -- including lung cancer, nasal cancer, and more -- is the obvious top concern.

However, it is also strongly linked to various respiratory issues and skin issues.

Even short-term exposure is linked to symptoms such as ear, nose and throat irritation.

And these are three top categories of products that formaldehyde is very common in:

1. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products:
Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (FRPs) are often present in cosmetics, shampoos, and nail products. These compounds are added to help prevent microbial growth, thereby extending the shelf life of products. Common FRPs include quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, and imidazolidinyl urea.

2. Furniture and Building Materials:
Furniture, particularly items made from pressed wood products such as particleboard, plywood, and fiberboard, often contains formaldehyde-based resins. These materials release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to indoor air pollution.

3. Household Cleaning Agents:
Some cleaning products contain formaldehyde; unfortunately, it is typically not listed explicitly on labels. Instead, ingredients that disintegrate into formaldehyde, such as methylene glycol, may be present.

Again, in these categories of products, the most important step is to look for respected independent certifications that indicate it does not contain formaldehyde, such as those I mentioned above.

I also encourage you to ASK the companies that make and sell the products if it contains this and other harmful chemicals -- and trust your intuition if you do not get a very clear answer.

Okay, then, next up, Jim...

Please DO be sure to read this crystal-clear, very helpful, and free new What ACTUALLY Causes Cancer guide



As the title implies, you will discover the top causes of cancer in your home, diet, and more, according to the latest science, not hearsay or hype.

And, again, some of these top causes will certainly surprise you.

Plus, you will also get full and free access to ALL episodes of one of the best series on avoiding and overcoming cancer I have ever seen in my decades in health...

Conquering Cancer: The Missing Link.

Every episode of this online series is well-worth your while -- and you get full access to all of them today and tomorrow.

However, if you only have time to watch one...

Long-Term Care Out of Reach for 6.5 Million Seniors

About 6.5 million "Near Dual" seniors are struggling to afford long-term care as they grow older and more frail, a new study warns.

“Near Dual” seniors are those who are eligible for Medicare but are only at the cusp of eligibility for Medicaid, the federal/state insurance program for the poor, researchers said.

Special: These 3 Things Will Push You Into a Nursing Home...

Medicaid covers long-term care for seniors; Medicare does not.

But to become eligible for Medicaid, seniors must essentially spend themselves into poverty.

Only 6% of Near Duals drained their finances enough to transition to full dual-eligible status between 2017 and 2020, researchers found.

These people will likely struggle to manage their long-term care unless government action is taken, researchers said.

Near Duals usually have a similar number of chronic illnesses and mobility limitations as those who have both Medicare and Medicaid coverage, researchers noted.

“This research exposes a critical gap in our current system of funding long-term care,” said Dianne Munevar, vice president of health care strategy at NORC at the University of Chicago. “As a growing number of Americans reach older age, future policy should be informed by data around the needs of the most vulnerable older adults.”

For the study, researchers analyzed Medicare enrollment, claims and survey data to figure out how many people are Near Dual and how often they transition to full coverage from both programs.

Near Dual seniors have $11,000 to $28,000 in annual income, and less than $26,000 in total assets, the report says.

Those finances can’t come close to the annual cost of an assisted living facility ($51,600), home health aide ($55,000), or a private room in a nursing home ($105,850), the report says.

The research team offered four policy solutions that could help these folks better afford long-term care:

  • Expand Medicare to provide long-term care for seniors based on their needs
  • Provide incentives for states to expand eligibility for Medicaid
  • Increase funding for home repair and modification programs to help seniors stay in their homes longer
  • Fund community-based programs that directly support vulnerable older adults
“Nearly 7 million older adults live in a perilous financial situation, which can be hazardous to not just finances, but healthcare and access, too,” Narda Ipakchi, vice president of policy at The SCAN Foundation, said in a NORC news release.

“Real policy change and relief for Near Duals is urgently needed so they can receive the necessary long-term care needed to age in their homes, safely and surrounded by community,” Ipakchi added.

You hear about heart disease and cancer all the time...

But when was the last time you heard about fatty liver disease?

Unfortunately, most people don't realize that 1 in 3 people have fatty liver disease, a significant yet overlooked cause of:
  • Heart disease
  • Cancer
  • Diabetes
  • Dementia
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Sleep disorders
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Underactive thyroid
  • Skin issues
To make matters worse...

Most conventionally trained physicians are NOT talking about fatty liver disease, making this topic the “unspoken” health crisis of our time.

Keep in mind, your liver is the largest internal organ—and the reason it's so big is because it's involved in over 500 bodily functions.

So when your liver is compromised, it affects every organ and system in your entire body.

But there’s great news!

You can regenerate and protect your liver naturally, without the need for toxic medications or invasive procedures.

That is why this F.REE 7-Part Fatty Liver Docu-Class by my friend and natural health expert, Jonathan Landsman, couldn’t have come sooner.

Starting November 7th, this online event is designed to help you:
  1. Understand how fatty liver disease is connected to major health issues like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

Home Remedies For Achy Muscles​

​
Achy muscles can result from a myriad of causes, including strenuous exercise, repetitive motion, or even everyday stress. The discomfort often manifests as a dull, persistent ache, stiffness, or a burning sensation in the affected muscles.
Although this is a common issue, it’s not something one has to endure without relief.

What to Look For (and Avoid) in a Multivitamin
It’s common to have more questions than answers when it comes to multivitamins. Do they actually work? Do I really need one? What ingredients should I look for? Can’t I get all my nutrients from food? The short answer is yes—multivitamins can benefit your body and you likely need one. But this holds true only if you choose a high-quality, well-formulated product. Here’s what to look for in a multivitamin, along with which ingredients to avoid. (More)
Good Oral Hygiene May Protect Against Cancer
Maintaining good oral health may do more than prevent cavities; it could also lower the risk of head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Researchers analyzed oral samples from 236 patients who later developed HNSCC and compared them to 485 controls without the cancer. While overall bacterial diversity didn’t show a clear connection to HNSCC risk, 13 specific bacterial species were significantly associated with the disease. Notably, a higher score based on certain bacteria was linked to a 50% increased risk of developing HNSCC. (More)
Mediterranean Diet May Lower Heart Failure Risk
Following a Mediterranean Diet could significantly reduce your risk of heart failure. Researchers analyzed data from six studies involving 216,385 European participants who were free of heart failure at the start. Over an average follow-up period of 11 years, they found that even a small increase in adherence to the Mediterranean Diet—reflected by a 1-point increase in the diet score—was linked to a lower risk of heart failure (risk ratio of 0.940). Interestingly, women who adhered more closely to the Mediterranean Diet experienced a notable decrease in heart failure incidence, while men did not show the same trend. (More)​

Stroke Risk Factors

Dr. Chauncey Crandall, M.D., writes:

Here’s a list of the traditional stroke risk factors that usually occur in older people:

High blood pressure. Also called hypertension, high blood pressure increases stroke likelihood by four to six times.

Atherosclerosis. This is the term for buildup of plaque in the arteries. In the heart, it’s known as coronary artery disease. But it can occur in the brain as well, and is a major cause of stroke.

Special: Dr. Crandall Saved His Own Heart With This

Carotid artery disease. Blood flows to your brain through the carotid arteries in the neck. If these vessels become narrowed, a clot can form, causing a stroke. Fifty percent of strokes are caused by problems in the carotid arteries.

Atrial fibrillation. Like high blood pressure, this common heartbeat irregularity increases stroke risk four to six times. Other types of heart arrythmia can also cause a stroke.

Smoking. Because the inflammation it causes damages blood vessels, smokers are at greatly increased risk of stroke.

Diabetes. People with diabetes tend to develop underlying cardiovascular disease much more often than others. And most people who suffer from diabetes end up dying of a clot-related cause, usually either a heart attack or stroke.

Abnormal lipids. High levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, and high triglycerides all contribute to atherosclerosis — and thus to stroke risk.

Obesity. Too much belly fat is a stroke risk factor because it increases risks for hypertension and diabetes. It also produces chronic bodily inflammation.

Stress. As with heart attack, stress has been an overlooked cause of stroke. Although stress is not yet considered an independent stroke risk factor, it is implicated in several of the other major factors, including high blood pressure, smoking, and obesity.
