Sodium laureth sulfate

So basically Sodium laureth sulfate is a chemical used in things that will make them bubble. Right? So what I read is that this chemical can be bad for your hair, skin, eyes. It also states that because it is so potent the skin absorbs it and it is bad for our liver, brain and other organs and that it is also linked to cause cancer. huuuuuuuuh as naive as this may sound or maybe dumb, I would rather not know. The way I look at the world is that there is so much bad that this is something small compared to other problems in the world. We get cancer from smoking and second hand smoke. You can get sick from walking into buildings that have those signs that say "this building has so and so chemical known by the state to cause cancer." are we not going into those buildings any more? There is so many of us without health insurance (including me) and we have all these medical issues and we are going to die any ways. We drink, smoke, eat unhealthy and probably will die before SLS kills us. Now stating that, I have curiously been looking at the ingredients in my things at home ever since reading about SLS. I have been made aware and that is all one can do, unfortunately. The seed has been dug in there and I will pass on the word but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. The way I think might be a reason the world is the way it is. =/
