He, however, suggested using a bidet, washable cloths, or bamboo paper instead of the bleached and chemical-filled toilet paper.
He said, “The method used to whiten toilet paper is called bleaching. While unbleached products are often rougher to the touch, the majority of businesses adopt this process. Chlorine, which can result in the production of dioxins, is frequently used in bleaching. Dioxins are exceedingly toxic, and their dangers include endocrine disruption, immune system damage, reproductive and developmental issues, and the potential for cancer.
“The majority of toilet paper contains a wide range of hazardous compounds that are bad for your health. The whiter, fluffier, and more scented your toilet paper is, the more chemicals it’s likely to contain. “The use of a bidet or the installation of a small shower device next to the toilet is the greatest option for enhanced hygiene and environmental protection.”
A 2010 study published by the National Library of Medicine discovered that formaldehyde is sometimes used to improve the wet strength of toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels. In addition to being a skin irritant, formaldehyde is a known cancer cause.All rights reserved.
