Published on Leave a comment on Palmolive Naturals Personal Care Products – A Community Concern!

AS IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MISLEADING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OUT THERE WHEN SHOPPING, PALMOLIVE HAS INTRODUCED A WHOLE RANGE OF SO-CALLED NATURAL PRODUCTS ONTO THE MARKET WITH A 'NATURALS' NAME TAG, AFTER INNOCENT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC and HEALTH CONSCIOUS PEOPLE. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! AND IF YOU ARE REALLY HEALTH-SAVVY, YOU WILL KNOW THE LURKS AND SPOT THE DIFFERENCE. AS THE ADAGE SAYS: BUYER BEWARE! WHY? BECAUSE BIG COMPANIES LIKE PALMOLIVE DON'T DITCH THEIR CHEMICALS EASY. THEY DON'T DITCH THEM AT ALL. WITH YEARS OF INDEPENDENT NATURAL HEALTH RESEARCH, I OFTEN INFORM PEOPLE: WHEN A COMPANY SAYS "NO THIS, NO THAT" ON THE LABEL, MOST TIMES, THERE ARE OTHER SNEAKY ADDITIVES/CHEMICALS USED. SO THEY MAKE THEIR BEST EFFORTS TO GIVE IMPRESSIVE MISLEADING INFO ON THE LABEL, LEAFLETS and WEBSITE ABOUT THEIR PRODUCTS TO ENTICE YOU INTO MORE CHEMICAL BUYS - THINKING THEY'RE NATURAL.

IF OUR GOVERNMENT WERE TRULY RESPONSIBLE, THEY WOULD PUT A STOP TO THIS. IT'S IN THE INTEREST OF OUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. WE PAY THEM TAXES TO SERVE US WELL and ADEQUATE PROTECTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED. THEY HAVE MADE A LAW FOR MISLEADING INFORMATION (on products) WHICH THEY DON'T ENFORCE ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH.…

IT'S GETTING A BIT MUCH, ISN'T IT? UNSCRUPULOUS MANUFACTURERS STOP AT VIRTUALLY NOTHING, TO COMPETE WITH GENUINE NATURAL CARE PRODUCTS WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONAL SKINCARE PRODUCTS, HAIRCARE PRODUCTS, DEODORANT, HANDWASH AND BODYWASH. IT'S CRIMINAL - REALLY REPREHENSIBLE, I KNOW, AND SINCE WE DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE - IN TAKING CARE MEASURES - BECAUSE LIKE THE FDA IN THE USA, OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T PUT A STOP TO THIS OUTRAGE EITHER. I WISH TO HELP YOU MAKE SMART DECISIONS WHEN PURCHASING PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS. PLEASE DON'T BE TOO TRUSTING WHEN IT COMES TO COMMERCIAL MAKES - THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONSCIENCE. I HAVE FOUND A COMPLETE GUIDE FOR YOU, AND RECOMMEND THAT YOU FAVOR COMPANIES IN YOUR PURCHASES THAT ARE DEDICATED TO MAKING GENUINE NATURAL PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS AND EXPOSE INGREDIENTS THAT ARE TOXIC TO OUR HEALTH BECAUSE IT IS NOW PROVEN THAT INGREDIENTS WE PLACE ON OUR SKIN ARE ABSORBED INTO OUR BODY. THIS IS CALLED TRANSDERMAL, AND IS AS SERIOUS AS TOXIC INGREDIENTS WE INGEST - THERE ARE OFTEN MORE SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS.

Published on Leave a comment on What Happens To Your Insides When You Ingest Artificial Chemicals In Food?

FOOD MANUFACTURERS HAVE ALL MANNER OF EXCUSES WHY THEY USE CHEMICALS IN THEIR PRODUCTS, AND SNEAKY COVER-UPS FOR THINGS THAT ARE DAMAGING TO OUR HEALTH OVER TIME (accumulative) AND SOMETIMES SURPRISINGLY SHORT. I WILL MENTION A VALUABLE WEAPON HERE: THEY RELY ON OUR IGNORANCE FOR SALES and MORE SALES. WHEN WE ARE NO LONGER IGNORANT, THAT GIVES YOU PROTECTION FROM LOTS OF VISITS TO A LOCAL MEDICAL CENTRE. LETS STAND UP TO THIS KIND OF THING IN OUR HOUSE and INFORM THOSE WE CARE ABOUT. YOU CAN MAYBE SEND THEM HERE. I DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE GETTING NASTY LITTLE SURPRISES FROM THEIR GPs THEY HAVE 'THIS OR THAT' WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED OFTEN. AND KIDS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE THEIR EARLY YEARS IN GOOD HEALTH, YES?

Published on Leave a comment on 8 Health Dangers of Canola Oil: Not the Healthy Oil We’ve Been Led to Believe

By Carly Fraser - Health Advocate and Researcher

Canola oil has practically taken over as the food processing industry’s oil of choice. Whether it’s mayonnaise, chips, or salad dressings, canola oil is usually the first, second, or third ingredient on the list. However, the health dangers of Canola oil are far beyond what we’ve been led to believe.

CANOLA: Update Your Knowledge And See If What You Have Been Told Is True!

So if there aren’t any actual health reasons to use it, why would it be so widely used throughout the food industry? As with most reasons certain ingredients are used over others – the price. Canola oil is extremely inexpensive to grow and harvest. It is also very easy to grow, due to its genetic modifications.

Canola oil was first promoted in the early 1970s as natural oil. And in 1995, Monsanto created a Genetically Modified version of Canola. By 2009, over 90 percent of the Canadian Canola Oil Crop was Genetically Engineered!

What is Canola Oil?

Canola oil comes from a descendant of the rapeseed plant, a member of the Brassica genus, along with some of our favorite vegetables like kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.…

Published on Leave a comment on Unhealthy Oils And Spreads: Don’t Be Duped – Learn The Real Facts And Pass Them On!

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

CANOLA and 'VEGETABLE OILS' and MARGARINE GO THROUGH A TOXIC CHEMICAL PROCESS and are Not the 'Healthy Products' the Manufacturers claim they are. Please Read!

Please read the other Post I am writing parallel to this one HERE about REAL FOODS. You will want to "Side with Nature" when you read the following. I am committed to Caring about the "Health & Happiness" of Australians and think you have the right to know these things. If you are an advocate for Low-Fat Diets and Polyunsaturated Oils, hopefully you will think again after reading about the benefits of NUTRITIOUS OILS that offer much more than Cheap Veggie Oil and Canola Manufacturers claim to give you.

The claims are found to be false and misleading. They promise to “save you from cholesterol” and overweight……… the Oils high in Monounsaturates like Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Oil and Avocado Oil are the ones that help to keep our LDL Cholesterol Level Low, not the Polyunsaturates. And people put on weight with them anyway but no-one thinks about that. Modern Day Charlatans are many in the Food Industry - highly skilled in crafting lies to get your confidence - they have no conscience, so we really do need to be careful.…

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

YES, THEY PROMOTE OUR HEALTH RATHER THAN DEMOTE IT. FOOD MANUFACTURERS HAVE THOUGHT OF ONE CLEVER DEMISE AFTER THE OTHER, PROMOTING SYNTHETIC AND PSUEDO FOODS WE ARE NOT MEANT TO INGEST - INFLUENCING GOVERNMENT HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND ALL, MAKING THEIR ARGUMENTS SOUND LEGIT, MAKING THE PUBLIC SICK. AND BIG PHARMA WITH THEIR MEDICAL AGENTS HAVE BEEN ONLY TOO HAPPY TO RAKE IN THE PROFITS. BUT AN AWAKENING IS STIRRING THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DISCOVERING THE BENEFITS OF REAL FOODS: YES OLD THINGS BECOME NEW. THIS IS INSTIGATED BY PROFESSIONAL NATURAL HEALTH ADVOCATES AND MANY HEALTH SCIENTISTS ALIKE WHO ARE NOW SIDING WITH NATURE, PROMOTING IT'S MERITS AND IT'S WAYS.

I Will Show You Some Real Health Promoting Foods That Are So Beneficial For Our Health That Have Been Drastically Altered Or Replaced (they now clash with our natural body chemistry) In Western Countries Like Australia, And A Few Really Beneficial Foods that are Very Nutritious for our Families!

Through the years in Australia – and Western Countries – we have been buying foods that are so different to food staples our Great Grandparents had and our Great Greats.…

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

It Concerns Me When I See So Many Women Buying Lots Of Low-Fat, No-Fat Groceries For The Family (Kids And All) Setting Themselves And Their Kids Up For Being Cranky Because Healthy Fats Help To Cushion Our Nervous System. Our Brain And Heart Also Require Their Share - This Is Vital INFO You Are About To Read!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - The choice of Healthy Mediterraneans

I intend to put a few very important things STRAIGHT on this page concerning the popular Low Fat Diet and the Cholesterol Scare Campaign and show you that the concerns raised about Fat-Intake are NOT VALID. There will be some cutting-edge knowledge Revealed by True Experts and an appeal to common sense. We need to know the REAL FACTS!

Low Fat Lies!

The Low-Fat Craze that commenced in the 90's has taken so many by storm and convinced most of the Medical Profession and Governments through Misinformation that "Fat is bad for You"..... "Watch your Weight"....."Watch your Cholesterol". And people are convinced this is true to the point of even changing the family meals to accommodate these concerns and leaving HEALTHY FATS out of their children's diets - that presents an imbalance to necessary NUTRITION.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Benefits Of Wholesome ‘Spelt’ Ancient Grains Instead Of ‘Modern Wheat’

MANY OF US HAVE BECOME AWARE OF HOW ANTI-NUTRITIONAL WHEAT (Modern Wheat) IS, HAVING BEEN HYBRIDISED SO MANY TIMES - IT'S GLUTEN IS ACTUALLY BAD FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST CELIACS. THERE IS ALSO A SURGE OF INTEREST IN ANCIENT GRAINS LIKE SPELT AND QUINOA AND KHORASAN WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN HYBRIDISED. JUST RECENTLY, I HAD MY FIRST EXPERIENCE MAKING SPELT BREAD AND SPELT & KHORASAN BREAD IN A BREADMAKER. HAVE BEEN MAKING A FEW TOO MANY EXCEPTIONS WITH WHEAT CRACKERS AND SEED BREADS (basically wheat bread) AT ALDI'S. NOW I CAN MAKE MY OWN and NO NEED FOR CRACKERS, MY WHOLESOME BREAD IS NATURALLY CRISPY ON THE OUTSIDE AND SOFT INSIDE. YUM!

What Is Spelt?

Spelt is an ancient grain widely recognized for its many health benefits. Triticum spelta, the scientific name for spelt, is a hardier and more nutritious cousin to modern wheat (Triticum aestivum). Some taxonomists classify spelt as a parent of wheat.

One of the earliest domesticated grains, spelt hasn’t changed since Biblical times. It remains unaffected by concepts such as ‘agribusiness’, ‘cross-breeding,’ ‘hybridization’ and ‘genetically modified’ – words that have come to dominate our modern food supply.…
