It’s as simple as that, eat clean and eat organic. Organic produce is not filled with pesticides and chemicals and is grown clean. If you can buy locally that is even better. Support local farmers, big business is slowly killing off local farmers and it just isn’t right. People always say to me that eating organic is too expensive, I always tell them that it’s worth it to spend a little more now than to spend that money on medical bills later in life! Plus let’s be honest apples to apples organic is really not THAT much more expensive. I did price comparisons a few months back and I spend about $0.75-$1.00 more per item for organic. I say it’s worth it.

Toxic Health Challenge: Day 16-Natural Flavors

That is quite a mouth-full I know, but it is so important to understand. I only showed the USDA’s definition…now here is mine…Natural Flavors are found in most processed foods, these ‘flavors’ are made in a lab by blending the natural and synthetic chemicals together to enhance taste. Although it may be derived from the natural source it is severely tampered with to mimic a certain taste. YUCK! Food companies are not required to list the individual ingredients and why would they want to? It would be a long list of terrible chemicals and additives. So don’t be fooled, stay away from any foods that have the words’Natural Flavors’ on them…it’s a lie.
