4. FACT: French fries—The most common
vegetable source for kids today
What Are We Putting In Our Kids?
FACT: Soft drinks—Most 8-year-olds drink soft
drinks daily, and each 355 mL (12 oz.)
serving contains 45 g (9 tsp.) of sugar;
phosphorous in soft drinks can leach calcium
out of bones
FACT: Hot dogs, cookies, and rolls—All among
the top 10 sources of food among infants
and toddlers 4–24 months of age
FACT: Junk food—25% of calories on a typical
school day come from junk food

5. FACT: 287 industrial chemicals—Found in a test of the
umbilical cord blood of 10 newborns: consumer-
product ingredients, banned industrial chemicals, and
pesticides
FACT: Bisphenol-A (BPA)—An endocrine disrupter found in
polycarbonate plastic containers, baby bottles, and
toys; newborns and infants may have up to 11 times
more in their bodies than adults
FACT: 1,4-dioxane and formaldehyde—Found in 61% of 28
children’s bath soaps, shampoos, lotions, and other
personal care products tested; classified by Health
Canada as a “substance of concern” and a “probable
carcinogen,” respectively
FACT: Phthalates—Fragrance can contain phthalates—known
endocrine disrupters—which are also known to be skin
irritants with potentially negative impacts on the
respiratory system, liver, and kidneys
What Are we Putting On Our Kids?
Babies’ skin is 5 times
thinner and more
permeable than adult
skin, making babies
more susceptible to
toxins

6. FACT: Asthma—Common household cleaners and
appliances may give off fumes that can be
triggers for asthma in children
FACT: Health risks—Chemicals that can be found in
everyday products that are probably under your
kitchen sink or in your laundry room, basement,
bathroom, and garage are known to be harmful
to children, particularly to their developing
nervous systems and brains
FACT: Poisonings— One million poisonings in Canada
each year are due to household cleaner
ingestion; chlorine bleach is the chemical most
frequently involved in household poisonings in
the U.S.
Out of 81,000 chemicals registered with the U.S. EPA in the past 30
years, fewer than 20% have been tested for toxicity!
