Teen Study shows 45% drop in hormone-disrupting chemicals in just 3 days of using all natural personal care items!
Natural News readers are well aware of the toxic products being sold to the uniformed public and hopefully are doing a good job avoiding them for their own personal care products. This new study conducted on 100 Teens at UC Berkeley may help us convince others to pay attention.
The results, published todayin the journalEnvironmental Health Perspectives, came from a study of 100 Latina teenagers participating in the Health and Environmental Research on Makeup of Salinas Adolescents (HERMOSA) study.

“Researchers provided teen study participants with personal care products labeled free of chemicals such as phthalates, parabens, triclosan and oxybenzone. Such chemicals are widely used in personal care products, including cosmetics, fragrance, hair products, soaps and sunscreens, and have been shown in animal studies to interfere with the body’s endocrine system.”
I copied this for I intend to look out for the above mentioned chemicals in the personal care products that I use. Thanks, Stuart, for reblogging this article about these hormone-disrupting chemicals!

In my experience, baking soda and vinegar work far better than nearly all commercial cleaning and personal hygiene projects. I especially like vinegar for cleaning toilets, unblocking drains and when I burn pans and baking soda for cleaning carpets. For a really bad stain, eucalyptus oil seems to work best.
I once took a workshop from a local woman on how to make these products at home: https://stuartjeannebramhall.com/2014/05/06/making-beauty-and-household-products-at-home/

We do know about baking soda and vinegar and use it a lot. Stuart. We try to avoid detergents and use pure soap instead. Our daughter Caroline loves to buy organic food, but Peter and I often find it is not fresh enough and not worth the expense. I just found an interesting, very long article about organic food in The Spiegel. Maybe you’d like to have a look:

I definitely agree that local food (preferably spray free) is healthier than organic food transported from a long distance. I buy all my organic food at our local farmer’s market – including meat, fish and free range eggs.

Of course, Stuart, to be able to buy local food is very good.
I think long distance food transport by trucks is acceptable, if the food can be delivered within one day. For greater distances a fast rail transport is the best solution, so the food can still be delivered within one day. Southern Europe can grow a lot of food all year round that in the northern parts of Europe cannot be grown during the winter months!

When I found out that Burts Bees was bought by Clorox and the Body Shop line was bought by L’Oreal, my buying them ended. We simply can’t trust them.
