After I learned what's being sprayed on organic vegetables at the stores I now soak all my vegetables in baking soda water to remove many of the toxins.

If your cutting board looks like this, studies estimate that you are ingesting over 50g of microplastics a year... or 10 credit card's worth of plastic.
Switch to wood or stone 🤷🏻

Don’t buy their products!!!! When I go to houses full of imposter “eco/green” products I wanna tell them, all the things which has inspired this post. (As it's hard to be like, "Hey that stuff is toxic."

Greenwashing is when certain brands falsely claim to be a "natural" alternative for your home. This particular brand is one of the biggest offenders. They’ve tricked me before with the clever marketing, earthy scents, and innocent looking bottle that screams eco-friendly.

👵 Did you know that Mrs Meyers was NOT founded by a sweet little old lady named Mrs. Meyers? Nope! The company was founded by a woman named Monica Nassif, a corporate marketing consultant and executive founder of the Caldrea Company -- She named the brand after her own mother, who raised 9 children on a farm in Iowa. Monica understood the power of a good "storyline" for selling cleaning products and has succeeded in duping many over the years.

➡️ Mrs Meyers brand is actually owned by SC Johnson 🤯 Yep! They were acquired back in 2009 by SC Johnson, the manufacturer of the following toxic products:⚠️Raid, ⚠️Glade Plug-Ins, ⚠️Scrubbing Bubbles, ⚠️Off! bug repellent, and ⚠️Drano. The company continues to test their products on animals.

Def not something to for 🤨

➡️ Let's take a minute and look at the packaging of Mrs Meyers. It looks so homemade, innocent, a reminiscent of our beloved toxin-free Dr Bronners (this is no coincidence!). Don't be fooled.

Dangerous Chemicals in Mrs Meyers Clean Day Products:
❌ Benzisothiazolinone
❌ PEG-2 Cocomonium Chloride
❌ Methylisothiazoline (linked to nerve damage by the NIH)
❌ Phenoxyethanol
❌ Sodium Caprylyl Sulfonate and
❌ Sodium methyl-2 lauryl sulfate (can create cancer-causing nitrosamines and cause acute aquatic toxicity)
❌ Fragrance - undisclosed concoctions of chemicals and most likely glycol ethers, as with many SC Johnson products)

Next time you see the pretty and colorful Mrs Meyers display, you may want to reconsider.

Did you know coffee is one of the most chemically treated crops, with some estimates stating every acre of coffee gets treated with 250 pounds of toxic chemicals?

Choose organic, and make sure they test for mold / mycotoxins as well as chemicals.

I have a few good brands I use if you’re interested.

The pumpkin swirl frozen coffee drink from Dunkin Donuts has 185 grams of sugar in it!

That’s like eating 46 teaspoons of sugar or 14 glazed donuts. If America runs on Dunkin, we’re screwed lol.

Our diet ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 should be from 1:1 to 4:1 if you want to push the envelope. But wow, the current western diet push the envelope typically to 15:1, even 20 omega 6 to 1 omega 3.

This comes about largely due to the use of omega 6 in popular cooking oils that are very inflammatory and should be avoided at all cost!
