I have the book and love love love it. So many people are not aware of even the toxic toxic colours they add to everything- not just lollies....and these are banned in some European countries. Banned! Yet we still consume them every day. Who really needs pretty coloured processed foods? Gues what? Fruit and begs are already coloured! Hahahah. Happy healthy shopping.

The research out is that the wires actually increase the radiation from the phone into your head....Ahhhhh!!!! the solution? Airphones! Yes- i have just purchase a pair from the very helpful Jennie at http://raw-pleasure.com.au/ They use empty air tubes to transmit the sound instead of wire- and reduce the emf by 95%! Oh the complicated problems we have caused ourselves because we love to chat :-) Happy non-toxic hearing. Christine. Earphones—–do you notice that your ears still get hot using earphones on mobiles?

It seems like nothing's safe D: So is general parfum bad for your health too? (the one we spray on ourselves) or is just referring to other products that have parfum added? Sorry for my English -_- I’m confused now! It seems like nothing’s safe D:

You can customize your scent and everything. I thought that was such a brilliant idea! I've been trying to find new "green" cookware- seems that ceramic coating is a good non-stick, environmentally-friendly option....please let us know what you end up buying!

Anything that is advertised as "cooling" or gives your skin a tingly or hot/cold feeling probably contains this. It sells well as the cold tingly feeling gives people the perception that the skin is really being cleaned. It is completely unnecessary and fuels the irritating perception that the body's natural functions are "dirty" and in need of purifying, but there you go. Do you think the lack of fresh air, sunshine and proper fruit and veggies most of us get has made us more susceptible to this stuff?
