28 Things You Should Stop Buying in 2018

LAUNDRY DETERGENT

Even standard laundry detergents can contain toxins that cause adverse effects ranging from irritated skin to neurological damage. To avoid contact with such chemicals, look for 100 percent non-toxic detergents, or make your own homemade powder solution.

 


MULTIVITAMINS

Almost 40 percent of Americans take a daily multivitamin, despite a lack of evidence that they make any positive impact on health. Eat a balanced diet to obtain your vitamins and minerals rather than spending money on supplements that provide no nourishment or measurable health benefits.

 


ANTIBACTERIAL SOAPS

Soaps that more effectively kill bacteria sound like a win-win for consumers, but they’re no more effective than conventional soap and water. In fact, they contain a chemical called triclosan that can enter the bloodstream, leech into waterways, increase the risk of developing allergies, interfere with thyroid regulation, and even spur the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
