Illustrated shared that exposure to chemicals can be associated with autism, ADHD, behavior, developmental disorders and cancer. This could be the reason we are seeing an epidemic of autistic and neurologically affected children, conditions that are directly impacted by chemicals found in everyday products.

Researchers also reported finding additional developmental neurotoxicants, which included manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, tetrachloroethylene and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. With all these toxins, we need to step
