Infertility Could be Linked to Flame Retardant Chemicals called PBDE's...More Reasons to Just Say No to Chemicals in Your Life!

I am telling you people that we are absolutely killing ourselves with chemicals.  Study after study is telling us that chemicals are causing us harm.  Oh but wait, more study is necessary.  Yea right,  if you guys wait until all of  the chemical companies and the awesome organizations like the Environmental Working Group fight it out with their research, you will be taking a chance I am certainly not willing to take.  I live by the precautionary principle!

Are The Corn Refiners Association Commercials Right? Is High Fructose Corn Syrup Really Safe?

I love these commercials on TV, paid for by the Corn Refiners Association, which tell us that worry over High Fructose Corn Syrup is silly.  In fact, every single time I see one I am left with a feeling of how stupid I must be to be worried about something as inocuous as HFCS.  Then I wake up and realize that once again big business is trying to control my mind, and my pocketbook, with misinformation.  They really think that the public is stupid enough to believe their rhetoric.  So is it true?  Are we so busy and dumbed down that we truly will believe what the Corn Refiners (who manufacture HFCS) tell us when independent studies tell us there are risks (as there are with sugar) that we should be aware of?

Do not buy into their bull and get yourself informed enough to make your own decisions about HFCS.  Take a look right now at these articles from Natural News and The Mayo Clinic which I have found very informative on HFCS.

The International Medical Corps is Asking for Our Help for Haiti...it is really easy and such an honor to make a difference in the life of another human being in need.

I have often shared with you about my father's Guiillan Barre syndrome which he contracted from a Hep-B vaccine.  What I have not shared with you, are the stories of the incredible home health aids we have been blessed with to help take care of him. Our current home health aid is named Yollette and I dedicate this post to her and her family.  Their home in Haiti, which they rented out to another family, was completely

1.    Have you always been green?  What made you walk a path to green?
I’ve been somewhat green growing up, but I started to be more consistent with it when I graduated from college. Working for The Green Guide really opened my eyes to all the green products and options out there, and gave me good reasons to stay green. I learned a lot about pesticides, plastics, organic products and

Environmental Health News: Toxins among us. Are you exposing your kids to cancer causing PAH's?

The Perfect Addition to your Weight Loss Efforts...Plus, your entire family will love these gluten free, wheat free and anti-oxidant packed Action Nutrition Bars!

Okay so really I am in love with these yummy and healthy Action Nutrition Bars and there really couldn't be a better time for you to give them a try.  It's like today right?  Okay, so then yes, this IS the best time to try out one of my family's favorite, healthy snacks.  These healthy, packed with protein bars will keep you feeling full longer (great for weight loss) and satisfy any sweet tooth with all natural ingredients.  Action Nutrition Bars are packed full of  "good for your body stuff" in the form of essential vitamins (like B-12), minerals and anti-oxidants (like Omega-3's).  Plus, they are wheat free, gluten free and Kosher!

It is not often that I find a super sweet, totally satisfying, chewy and healthy treat that I can feed to my family and know that they are actually benefiting from eating it.  My favorite is Peanut Butter Chocolate and my daughter (who is 13) loves the Chocolate Molten.  She eats them like crazy which is great as she hardly seems to eat anything at all anymore.  The only downside I have found with these "candy" bars is that when the kids eat them, they leave the wrappers all over the house...not a bad downside huh?

So what are you waiting for? Go pick up a 12 pack right now!
