Hi everyone~ A friend send this over to me:

Check the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see if they have this substance by the name of Sodium Laureth Sulfate or simply SLS.
This substance is found in most shampoo, the manufactures use it because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap. BUT the fact is that SLS is used to scrub garage floors, and it is very strong.
It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run, and this is no joke. Well,I went home and check my shampoo(Vidal Sasoon), it hasn't got it, but others such as Vo5, Palmolive etc..they've got this substance, so I've called up to one of the company(u must think I had nothing better to do, no, I am just concerning our health)well, I told them their product contains a substance that will cause people to have cancer, and u know what they said, they said "Yeah.we knew about it but there is nothing we can do about it coz we need that substance to produce foam, oh, by the way the Colgate toothpaste also contains the same substance to produce the bubbles".
Oh my God, I've been using the Colgate since when I was born,what the world is that, are we going to die very soon. They said they are going to send me some info. Research have shown that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer is 1 out of 8000 and now in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1 out of 3, which is very serious. So I hope that you will take this seriously and hopefully, we can stop "giving" ourselves the cancer virus.
Anyway take care my friends.

I really want say thank you so much for information about Sodium Laureth Sulfate(SLS) to Iyek and Angel Rodriques. Special thank's to Vladimir C.de Ramos, who found dangerous SLS in shampoo.

hello,
tks for your news regarding sls.
i need to know further about the harmful effect of sls.
do u know what kind of cancer caused by sls?
and since sls is dangerous, do u know what is the replacement substance of sls to produce foam? i.e vidal sasson does not use sls in their products, so, there must be a replacement for that.
i am looking forward for your reply.
rgds,
drian
