Pollutants in the umbilical cord

I receive EWG's newsletter in my email.  A few month's ago I came across this article.  Body burden: The pollution in newborns  It is scary to know that there are 180 chemicals in a newborn's umbilical cord that cause cancer. Some baby's might not even get the chance to live a healthy life. That is why I feel it is important to keep chemicals out of the home.  I've already have had my four children.  I wish I would of known this information before I had children.  I mean, who would of known that cleaning supplies and products we use every day can damage our us and our children like this.  I think we are brainwashed by commercials.  I haven't seen a cleaning product commercial in awhile.  However, I believe the first thing most people think when they use cleaning products is that they are killing germs to create a healthier home.  What is not being taken account of is the deadly toxins in the product that people are inhaling while they clean, and how if affects the health.  It only makes sense to consider the toxins.
