I’ve just moved into place and when I first replaced the toilet paper roll, I discovered an unusual toilet roll holder. It isn’t solid like most of them. It made a noise like a rattle when I removed it and when I examined it I saw it has a little ‘cage' full of plastic-y beads.
Long story short, these beads turn out to be some kind of fragrance. I can’t find the original toilet roll holder so I’m temporarily stuck with this beady fragrance dispenser.
I don’t know how to say this prosaically enough not to offend the sensibilities of people who buy fragrance-emitting toilet roll holders so, Gentle Reader, if that’s you, skip the next sentence. But I don’t want chemicals going into the delicate membranes of my ass through chemically-scented toilet paper. It’s bad enough the toilet paper is white and probably full of dioxins.
Is it any wonder there's so much rectal cancer when people are artificially smelling-up their toilet paper? Why do we even need to scent-up toilet paper before it has been, uh, deployed? Think about it: what is actually being fragranced here?
Don’t people realize yet that when they spray chemical air freshener products (a misnomer if there ever was one) all over their house, they’ll be breathing the chemicals in or having chronic skin contact with it? Rug rats are especially vulnerable to upholstery and carpet sprays and cleaners; they spend half their life on the floor. Pets too.
Think about your clothing imbued with fabric softeners. How strong they smell. What are they made of? Gynecologists are actually advising women not to use scented fabric softeners with their underpants in the dryer. (But don't think the 'unscented' types are necessarily chemical-free either). Also they say it takes several sessions with a wet towel going around in the dryer just to remove fabric softener residues from the dryer. Imagine how sticky that might be inside the body once it's gone in thru your pores.
When folks libate their bodies with chemically-fragranced body washes, again they are sending chemicals into the pores all over their body. On a daily basis. And then there’s the daily shampooing and conditioning. Do any of us know what's in those products we get off the drug store shelf? (I believe industry has gone to some lengths to resist labeling these products and I've been told there are some pretty scary ingredients).
Imagine the chronic build-up of these chemicals inside your body over time.
Same with chemical perfumes, powders, body butters - and those things you hang in the car with chemically-induced smells: you're locked in a car breathing that stuff in - what is it exactly? And those other ghastly things people inflict on you - air 'fresheners' that plug in an electrical outlet. Certain stores now 'condition' their air and imagine how much of that is organic or natural scent in the dog-eat-dog retail climate. But you're getting a snoot-full of it the whole time you're shopping in those windowless caverns.

It’s all chemicals, and we’re breathing it in or absorbing it trans-dermally.
Can the average liver actually manage the daily absorption of that much chemical?
