Teehee..I'm now a happy girl again. Sorry for being so emo for the past few days. =p But well, being emo is quite good too geh. You will get to think a lot of things and I think this is a good exercise for my brain. Bah, whatever. I'm talking nonsense.
Back to normal mode.
I guess I know something. Whatever happens, try not to hide from your friends. It will only cause misunderstanding and therefore = chaos
Communication is the only way to reduce uncertainty. I found it very true. =D Well, some of you may not understand what had happened, but still, some of my coursemates will understand. XD Anyway, 2 more papers to go! All the best and good luck! Event Management and Media Planning for Public Relations, Bring it on baby! lol.
Anyway, I think a few weeks back, I've received an email from Gillian. From the email, it says for those shampoos, body shampoos, make-up and etc..those that contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate will bring harm to our body 1 wor. Of course, I don't really believe it. But then due to my curiousity, I started to check the body shampoos that I'm using.


Die lah! Both also got 1. Am I going to die faster than others? Hmm. Then I realized most of the shampoos ahh, and also body shampoos..especially those branded 1 ah also got. So, I guess it doesn't really matter? Well, after using both of these body shampoos, I'll change la. Just in case..because I went to check what are the effects of Sodium Laureth Sulfate and this is what I got:
Both Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and its close relative Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that we expect to "foam up". Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents, chemically known as surfactants.
Unfortunately, both sodium laureth sulfate and its cousin are also very dangerous, highly irritating chemicals. Far from giving "healthy shining hair" and "beautiful skin", soaps and shampoos containing sodium laureth sulfate can lead to direct damage to the hair follicle, skin damage, permanent eye damage in children and even liver toxicity.
Although sodium laureth sulfate is somewhat less irritating than SLS, it cannot be metabolised by the liver and its effects are therefore much longer-lasting. This not only means it stays in the body tissues for longer, but much more precious energy is used getting rid of it.

It was from the snopes.com website, where you can find a lot of interesting cases or issue in there. It says this is not true that the sodium laureth sulfate poses a significant cancer risk to the shampoo users. =D Go check
this out! So now I guess I don't really have to worry too much.
Phew.
