You need a drink. Well, several. High Test Straight Booze, in my case, today, 96 proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. And here's why: (quoted) Housekeeping Tip: Long-Term Frequent Use of Some Household Products May Affect Heart Rate VariabilityUse of household cleaning products may be accompanied by inhalation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the secondary pollutants created by their reactions with other airborne compounds. Indoor exposure to these chemicals has been associated with conditions ranging from mucosal membrane irritation to poor concentration. A new study suggests that heavy use of some household cleaning and air-freshening products may have an adverse effect on cardiovascular function [EHP 120(7):958–964; Mehta et al.].

From WebMD
Low potassium (hypokalemia): EDTA can bind with potassium and increase the amount of potassium that is flushed out in the urine. This might cause potassium levels to drop too low, especially in people who have low levels, to begin with. If you have this problem, don’t use EDTA. (me)
Asthma: Nebulizer solutions containing disodium EDTA as a preservative can cause the breathing tubes to narrow in some people with asthma. The size of the dose determines the amount of the narrowing. (half the young people in my family)

Explain to me why it is in your lunch. . |

The main reason given seems to be to keep your food fresher longer or well, to keep it from spoiling too fast. (same thing)
Maintaining color and to keep oils and fats from separating. Don't see the big deal with those two things since when we make dressing from scratch, it's not the colors we find dressing in a bottle to be anyway and oils and fats... uh, shaking it usually does the trick. The first bit... if everything wasn't so thoroughly processed, I highly doubt that would be much an issue either.
I love mayo and salad dressing and my soda. Don't use much else on the list of foods I read except those.
Depending on where you read, some say its good and some say its bad. The bit that caught my attention though was short term side effects because I suffer from most of them but never linked it to food I eat.
Doc, I was already strange when it came to foods, I think you're making me worse.
*mumbles.... this best not be in my meat too*

Remember the words of the old master, "the dose makes the poison".
But, it is also the low level dose over a period of time... that makes the poison.
A little now and then may not hurt, but a little, ALL THE DAMNED TIME- in your shampoo, in your breakfast, in your soft drink at lunch......
your body never has a chance to recover.
And, no, a week long "cleanse" after fifteen years of constant poisoning isn't going to prove anything.

So... we're gonna get to heaven a little faster than planned then....
I don't think there is anything that doesn't have one thing or another that is slowly killing us in it.

So... we're gonna get to heaven a little faster than planned then.... I don't think there is anything that doesn't have one thing or another that is slowly killing us in it. OK and Probably not. BUT: "why invite trouble in the mean time?" As I answered after the "connecting the dots" article when a lady said something similar: ---------------------------------- After reading the article about the bad things in common products from a couple of weeks or so ago a lady asked: "... ... what can I do?.... ..."And this is the answer: You can Read Labels, yes, you can, read them and look stuff up. Learn what is in the foods you eat and the products you use. And, what you give to your kids! Be Aware of what some of these chemicals and compounds are doing to you because "you are what you eat". Control what you can, find alternatives to products with too many poisons in them. And then minimize what you can't stop all together, because, like it or not, we live in the here and now where this stuff is part of every day life. Quit Stewing About Yesterday. Worrying about what you slathered all over yourself and your kids last year at the beach will probably do more harm than the documented toxins in the sunscreen, which was probably more harmful than the sun itself, but that's another article. Then: Tell those you care about and help them learn to Live better. There. We answered the lady's question first. Before we get bogged down tilting at giants who grind out products that contain enough mind numbing chemicals to make you think you are the Knight Errant himself. But there it is. You are in charge of your life. Why would you want to give up that power over you and your family to... well... we'll get to that later. (end quote) MORE: themediadesk.com/newfiles7/what.htmAnd the CONNECTING THE DOTS essay that brought it up: (warning: reading this article may make you upset, Not Reading It may kill you.)themediadesk.com/newfiles7/dots.htm. |

Reading labels is time-consuming but I suppose most waste time doing one thing or another so... okay, we read the labels.
Here is where the problem comes in for a small percentage of us... We're too poor to cut out the bad stuff since half the bad stuff is all that is affordable.
If my life is shortened where food is concerned, it's because I didn't eat and not because I ate the bad stuff. (some might call it starvation)
I'm not saying it's not worth paying attention to. I'd like to learn more but not on the food aspects. (skin is my real concern)
I'll let you get back to it now. Plenty of others should find this worth reading about. You know me, I have to interrupt ever so often.

We can do the Skin Care side of things.
In fact, it is all part of it.
This is about the makeup that doesn't have neurotoxins (and other suchlike things) in it:
which is a statement Mary Kay, Avon, Olay, and the other major manufactures cannot make.
