Are you one of the people that walks into Walmart and automatically trusts everything on the shelf?

Too many of us in America, or across the world think whatever is on the shelf must have been approved and be safe for human use automatically.

But little, do you know a lot of what’s on our shelves is BANNED in the rest of the world.

Why?

“America is the best country on earth, right?

It might be, but not when it comes to our food production.

Our foods regularly contain chemicals and additives that are banned in the EU, Canada and other parts of the world!

Don’t believe me?

Go to your pantry and grab anything colored red with RED 40 in the ingredients.

It’s BANNED in the EU with it requiring warning labels! It’s been linked to hyperactivity in children as well as allergic reactions. Animal studies have shown potential cancer-causing effects!

What are we feeding our children?!

This is not a one off, there are HUNDREDS of food additives banned in the rest of the world, but allowed in our dear United States.

This doesn’t simply extend to food, but our cosmetics too!

Ingredients like Aluminum in our deodorants block our pores to “prevent sweating”, defying the very natural human perspiration.

The same Aluminum that is now linked to Breast cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Or avobenzone, octocrylene, and oxybenzone, ingredients used in sunscreens that have proven and studied negative effects on hormones, general health and coral reefs.

And with summer here, you know what that means. Vacations, beaches, and sunburn. Society and medical experts will tell you that too much sun and sunburn will cause cancer. Little do you know this is not the case. The sun is actually a disinfectant and a health promoter.

 

When we are in the sun, the body takes the sunlight and through different processes, starting by creating vitamins, melanin, and other factors. One of the most important vitamins that is created through sunlight is vitamin D which virtually everyone is deficient in.

Then melanin is created in your skin to protect your body from sunburn. Although sunburn hurts and annoying to deal with, it’s better than dealing the effects from long term use of the chemicals in mainstream sunblock

Let’s get something straight before we delve into what conventional sunblock does to you, we encourage everyone to not use sunblock and get daily sun exposure. The sunburn is temporary and causes your body to produce melanin which will protect you from future sunburns. With that out of the way let’s get chemicals of sunburn

4-methylbenzylidene camphor, this is a key chemical used in sunblock. This chemical is not only carcinogenic but is also estrogenic, a double whammy. This chemical has a component called benzene. Benzene is an organic chemical, which most organic chemicals have a tendency to be harmful to the body. 

 

Benzene derived chemicals can be found in all types of products. Being estrogenic causes this chemical to disrupt your hormones. Many estrogenic chemicals have also been linked to cancer as well, especially in women. Estrogenic chemicals in women cause their estrogen level to rise and one of the major cancers that affect women is breast cancer which is usually an estrogen receptor cancer.

 

Now knowing this what is all the rave about all natural sunscreen.

These have been linked with hormone disruption and environmental damage.

But then we get on to the topic of home hygiene, for example your morning and evening teeth brushing and flossing ritual.

Nearly every product is guaranteed to have the ingredients “fluoride”. But why is it even there?

Fluoride is not necessary for healthy teeth, but can have unintended consequences in the body!

Big Pharma thinking is that you need to provide fluoride for healthy strong teeth, in order for it to be incorporated into your teeth enamel matrix, in order to prevent caries.

But why risk using something so potentially harmful?
Especially when there are BETTER more natural compounds available?

Because it’s cheap!

By crushing up eggshells, we can obtain nano-hydroxyapatite, a natural and powerful compound scientifically proven to help bulk up your tooth enamel.

 

In reality, nature has given us so many natural ingredients that ACTUALLY WORK.

No, this is not some “woo-woo”-hippie nonsense.

Studies have shown:

• Zinc oxide is an effective sunscreen ingredient – reef and hormone safe.
• Fluoride use is linked with lower IQ, testosterone and not having a strong correlation with reducing cavities
• Sunscreen chemicals are banned in Hawaii due to damaging the coral reefs
• Nano-hydroxyapatite from eggshells naturally remineralizes teeth.

All we ask is that you read a little into your medicine cabinet ingredients, and stop poisoning yourself and the environment.
