Most people don’t think about the idea of toilet paper being dangerous to your health.  Let’s admit, when it comes to toilet paper, we want the softest and the whitest paper possible. But the truth is, this kind of paper is the most toxic  for your body.   Did you know that there are more than 100,000 chemicals used in commercial paper products? One of the worst chemicals used is chlorine. It’s pretty much in most products we use day to day such as baby wipes, paper towels, coffee filters, milk cartons, etc. These toxic substances enter through our skin and get into our blood. The most dangerous of these toxins is chlorine and unfortunately, most conventional toilet paper is processed with chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach creates dangerous toxins such as dioxin and furans. These toxins accumulate in our bodies, creating a dangerous situation for our health. Have you ever wondered how toilet paper gets to be so white?  Shouldn’t it be brown if it’s made from wood? Unfortunately, paper industries use chlorine and chlorine dioxide to bleach it.

This process creates cancer-causing chemicals such as dioxins and furans, which are in the air and pretty much everywhere else. Low levels of exposure have been linked to many health problems such as cancer, hormone imbalances (dioxin is a hormone disruptor),  immune system impairments, reduced fertility and birth defects. Dioxins cannot be excreted by our bodies, so they just accumulate over time creating a very dangerous situation. Many studies have found correlations between high workplace exposure to dioxins and a increased risk of cancer. If you make your coffee using conventional paper filters, 40-70% of the filters dioxins can leach into your coffee. What’s worse, bleached paper is believed to be the  most carcinogenic chemical known to science!  The Toilet Paper Encyclopedia explains, “Many pulp and paper mills use chlorine-based chemicals to bleach pulp white. These chemicals react with organic molecules in the wood and other fibers to create many toxic byproducts, including dioxin.

Chlorinated toilet paper contains the highest amount of furans out of all cosmetic tissues… Dioxin, a bleaching byproduct, is one of the most toxic human-made chemicals. Once released into the environment, it is persistent because natural bacteria cannot effectively break it down. ‘Dioxin’ is often used as a catchall term for three acutely toxic chemical groups: true dioxins, furans and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).” If you use conventionally manufactured toilet paper, you are wiping these toxic chemicals onto your body. In this 2012 study on BPA, it was discovered that “the concentrations [of BPA] are very high in paper products.”  This includes recycled toilet paper. According to a study,  formaldehyde is used “to improve the wet-strength and other “valued” characteristics of paper and paper products”.  The National Toxicology Program has classified formaldehyde as a known carcinogen. There are much safer ways to make bleached paper. One of these is using oxygen based bleaching compounds.

TOILET paper issued to Hitler’s Turd Reich army is to go under the hammer at an auction in Dublin. The roll was to be used by Hitler’s Wehrmacht army which included the Loo-fwaffe airforce. It is in “remarkably unused condition” and “still intact in its original printed wrapper”, even though it was a “wartime luxury”, according to Whyte’s auctioneers. The Edelweiss-branded Klosettpapier (toilet paper) will be for sale on September 17 at Whyte’s gallery, Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 The bogroll is expected to command a fee of between €80 and €120. Soldiers’ helmets, minefield warning flags and a police dagger are also among the German items which were amassed by a private Irish collector and are now up for grabs. Head of Collectables Stuart Purcell said: “We had a German World War II helmet on sale in March which sold for €10,000 and the guy whose collection it is was one of the bidders. 'You're his one and only' Labour donor's red card

Top of the class A HOL LOT OF TROUBLE “The private collector’s raison d’etre in the early days was to try and collect the kit of the average World War II soldier – everything from what he used for cleaning his gun to his butter dish. “It is fascinating that someone in 1945 would say: ‘We will put that toilet paper aside because someone will find that interesting in the future.’ “You would have thought it would have been used during the war.” Asked why someone would have a Nazi collection, Mr Purcell explained: “The people who collect these items are usually serious collectors. For some people though it is like collecting stamps. “If they weren’t still collecting it, in a generation’s time people would say we don’t have anything to show as nobody bothered to collect it. “There are WW2 paratrooper helmets and a number of Waffen SS helmets, which are very rare. “We also have a Nazi railway police dagger which is rare and is on at €1,500 to €2,000.”
