So...
If Red dye #40 kills a plant, what do you think it’s doing to our cells?
Below is a picture of a simple experiment of how different food coloring changes the color of the celery plant.
Well, take notice of the red dye #40...it KILLED the celery plant in just a day! Red dye #40 is in a lot of candy and processed foods, Gatorade, etc. 🤔 and it’s not like the other two are without effect, trust me. Just removing foods with artificial colorings/dyes could substantially change your child behavior, mood, hyperactivity, etc.
You would be amazed at how a child's behaviour can change just from cleaning up their diet.

Hi 👋🏼

Jillian here with some not so fun, unpopular and frightening news.

Did you know that Bath & Body works products are actually not recommended to use while pregnant? Yeah, neither did I because I never thought to read their safety data sheets. Like oh, if it’s on the shelves it must be OK for the human body, right? No. Not right. Straight from their safety data sheet it reads and I quote, “suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child” and, “may cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.” I’m sorry, come again??? The products that have been US glorified FOR YEARS because “they smell good” or, “they have the best candles” have a warning label that use could harm an unborn child, a woman’s hormones AND their organs? And once again I’m reminded that the world doesn’t keep spinning and generate revenue if you and I are healthy.

There are multiple ingredients you should be looking for when determining whether a product should be on your shelf at home or not. 🚫 Butelyne Glycol 🚫Tetrasodium EDTA 🚫 BHT 🚫 Disodium EDTA 🚫 Diazolidinyl Urea 🚫 Methylparaben & Propylparaben Ceterareth-20 🚫 “Fragrance”.

Here’s the safety data sheet link to see the deets for yourself.

As I’ve always said, you need to become your own families expert. And please, stop trusting the EWG for their ratings because as it turns out, companies can PAY for good ratings. EWG is just as sideways as FDA regulations.

🎤 drop.

A four year study in 1984 found 78% of high volume industrial chemicals (exceeding a million pounds per year) had not been subjected to even minimal toxicity testing.

Every DAY, the US produces or imports 42 billion pounds of synthetic chemicals, 90% created using oil. That would fill 623,000 tanker trucks carrying 8,000 gallons each. In one year, that line of trucks would circle the globe 86 times. This never disappears.

65 year old men more fertile than 21 year olds due to exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Hormones.

How are you reducing your exposure?

Prenatal exposure to EDCs was associated with testicular anomalies later in life, which includes reduced semen volume and quality, increased incidence of cryptorchidism and hypospadias and increased incidence of testicular cancer [40]. EDCs reduced SC number and impaired LC development, inducing testicular anomalies at morphological and functional level [39]

Recycling in Abilene, TX is essentially non-existent. Would you pay $5.75/month to have recyclables picked up at your house?

Can you see Trash Mountain in this picture? Compare it to the size of Abilene....
