I recently read an article that talked about new products being introduced to the market that are suppose to be natural and chemical free. As I read through the information I was quickly able to check some of the ingredients on the products that were named. What I found were basically replacement chemicals, same effect and impact with a different name.
Just because you see natural, or organic or even vitamin enriched doesn’t mean that the products doesn’t contain the harmful chemicals and preservatives that many of us have been exposed to for years. Some of the products as mentioned in the article are too new to say what the benefits really are when using them for long or short periods of time.
After all how many YEARS have we been told that the best thing to use to disinfect and get rid of germs is chlorine bleach. It’s been on the market since WWII and has been added to almost every cleaning substance found in today’s home. The chemical is linked to birth defects, respiratory problems and even cancer.
It is difficult to manage everything we use and expose ourselves to when it comes to the environment in our home and out doors. But we can have a heightened awareness that let’s us know where the products are being made. What are the benefits of the products ingredients? Do the use of preservatives out way simple side effects? How often and little should we use them? Look out for pretty bottles and bold vitamin based and organic or natural print… that’s usually a distracter for the things that we shouldn’t read on the back in small print.
I enjoy the safest and healthiest products I could find with the Wellness Company. They are delivered to my home each month. My family is healthier than they have ever been. It has made all the difference in the world to have the awareness about the toxic exposures to our family. We love living healthy and thought you might want to be aware!
