Toxins can be hiding in health and beauty products you use every day

Many of us try to lead healthy lives by choosing well-known brands when it comes to the food and hygiene products we use with our families. But when was the last time you really read the ingredient labels on supplements, vitamins and beauty products?

Open your kitchen pantry or bathroom vanity and it's likely you'll find formaldehyde and asbestos hiding in some of the most common items.

We took a tour around the kitchen with Dr. Noreen Khan-Mayberry, better known as the "Tox Doc," and it turns out a whole lot of the most common supplements have ingredients at such high concentrations, they can actually be dangerous, or even toxic, to you or your children.

We started with popular meal replacement, or supplement, drinks.

"There's 14 grams of sugar in each bottle, and unfortunately, there are some children who might drink this more than once a day. If you're drinking two of these a day, you have exceeded 25 to 35 grams," Dr. Khan-Mayberry said.

The maximum amount of sugar recommended for men is 35 grams in a day, and 25 grams for women.
