A recent NY Post article highlights a shocking discovery: exposure to common household chemicals known as quaternary ammonium compounds, or “quats,” may be linked to over 350,000 deaths from heart disease in the U.S. every year. Found in a wide range of products—from disinfectants to personal care items—quats are known for their strong disinfecting properties but have now been shown to potentially contribute to cardiovascular inflammation and health risks, even with low-level, long-term exposure.
This research serves as a crucial reminder for all of us to reconsider the products we use in our homes. While quats have been widely used for their effectiveness in killing germs, their health impact is now drawing serious concern.
Fortunately, safer alternatives are available. Healthy Homes’ ALL-Clean is a non-toxic, quat-free cleaner that uses plant-based ingredients to effectively clean your home without compromising your health. It’s a great choice for those looking to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals while still maintaining a hygienic environment. Read more about ALL-Clean here.
Bottom Line: As the NY Post article reveals, the risks associated with quats are significant, but making the switch to non-toxic products like ALL-Clean can help reduce these dangers and create a safer home. Your heart—and your health—will thank you.
