Basically any food containers not made of glass can leak chemicals into your food… from what I've heard.<br /><br />My theory is that our entire generation is going to die of cancer. We've just got so much synthetic crap that we live around and totally take for granted.

I never let my little nieces and nephews near my studio cuz it's so toxic.<br /><br />My old illustration teacher had a friend in her art college that used a lot of pastels and spray-fixadent--she died when she was in her 30's from lung cancer. So especially with oil pastels, it's not on the box, but ppl should use a face mask cuz once it's in your lungs it's not ever leaving you. <br /><br />I also have heard of a lot of oil painters (a LOT) who get asthma just from their turpentine. So switching to Oderless Mineral Spirits is a real life saver and it's really just as efficient and less smelly than turp, too. (still not the best for you, but soo much better.) And for cleaning brushes I always spend the extra money for the non-toxic brush cleaning solution just for oil paints--it's so much better for your brushes and your hands.<br /><br />Cuz you don't have to give up the medium that you love--but taking a little extra time to put on some gloves or go outside to spray-fix or use a natural replacement can save years.Rachel Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106177179797716490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-8944330366015246602012-07-02T20:16:37.601+02:002012-07-02T20:16:37.601+02:00You are spot on, researches should be taken with a...You are spot on, researches should be taken with a grain of salt.

It seems once something is deemed good for you, everyone rushes out to buy it, only to discover a week later that it might be bad for you. Eggs have this history - eggs are bad, they raise cholesterol. Eggs are good - they are a good, filling protein, especially for breakfast. <br /><br />My son always uses non-toxic art supplies at home, but how do I know the art supplies he uses at school are non-toxic? Next thing, someone is going to tell me I shouldn't crochet with Eyelash yarn, because it can detach from the strand and I can breathe it in and it will get stuck in my lungs and cause cancer.<br /><br />I take these researches with a grain of salt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-58752719767615097652012-07-02T17:20:47.216+02:002012-07-02T17:20:47.216+02:00Ahhh yes.
