Are your children playing with toxic toys? Please check out this post on toxic toys.
Take special note of the comment…”LeapFrog has substantive and certified testing results from a third-party lab that verifies the Leapster2 carry case well exceeds all safety requirements, in both the United States and Europe.”
Safety requirements. Hmmm, does this mean that there are safe levels of toxins? In other words, the level of toxins is not enough to do harm.
Constantly we hear about drugs that were previously approved and are now unsafe, some even being removed from the market all together. This includes over the counter “natural remedies” as well. All were considered safe at the time of their release.
So, what is meant by safe?
The bottom line, any toxin is too much. This is because of the ability for toxins to accumulate. It is virtually impossible and unethical to have a clinical trial on how much toxin a child will absorb from a toy.
Why not create toys with no toxins. We can put men on the moon. Is this beyond our ability to solve?
The only way to deal with this is to avoid those toys.
Our bodies can defend us to a limited extent. However, it is much different in children.
A child rarely gets all the nutrients they need to mount a defense against a toxic attack. If the child has any of several diseases or conditions, including but not limited to autism, they are at greater risk of absorbing and accumulating the toxins in their bodies.
The ability for their bodies to make glutathione (the main defense against toxins) is limited by both their bodies and their lack of intake of the nutrients. ( The North American / much of Northern European Diets are depleted of many essential nutrients).
A former pediatric nurse, I have several hundred children, all of them grown up, several not with us any more, none of my own. My ulterior motive in this is only the health and welfare of our children.
Good health to you and yours.
