Normally, I mute commercials when I watch TV (which is not often). Last week, however, I forgot to set the mute, and I heard a commercial for a prescription drug that went something like this:
“Take XXX drug to prevent XXX (disease condition)…”
“Prevention is taking a prescription drug on a regular basis to reduce your chances of getting a disease.”
Wait a minute!
After years of touting “It’s so pure it floats,” Ivory soap is dropping it’s slogan… and changing it’s ingredients.
A friend of mine was recently shocked when she smelled a fruity and distinctly artificial fragrance from her new bar of Ivory soap. I recognized the scent immediately. It’s a common scent found in many personal care products today. I can only describe it as “Cherry Puke.”
A quick look at the package turned up the phrase “just a little scent” and fragrance/parfum in the ingredients list. What happened to Ivory being “pure?”
This particular package of soap was packaged for sale in Canada. I don’t know if they are selling the same formula in the U.S., but I would guess they are – or something similar. Proctor and Gamble probably feels they can’t compete with all the other soaps on the market that are scented.
And the truth is, the olfactory glands of the average American are so plugged they can’t smell anything unless hit over the head with a “fragrance” sledge-hammer.
How many hits of the “fragrance” sledge-hammer will it take to knock them down?
How long will it take people to figure out that many of their illnesses, poor memory, alzheimers symptoms, etc…are caused by toxic artificial fragrances?
How long will it take them to stop buying this destructive puke?
Could be a long time. The more artificial fragrance they smell, the duller their brain gets and the less they can reason or figure things out.
Last year, the Associated Press found that public water supplies in virtually all U.S. cities tested were contaminated with pharmaceutical chemicals. These chemicals mostly came from pharmaceutical drugs in urine and from pills flushed down toilets.

If you’re concerned about fitness for children, it couldn’t come as a surprise that computers and televisions affect children’s fitness levels. Several studies have pointed to that already. But this new study from the New South Wales Centre for Overweight and Obesity is a little different.
The difference in this study is that the researchers included ALL screen time as well as general sedentary time. They included text messaging, reading, homework and even sedentary hobbies in their results. Most previous studies only included playing computer games and watching TV.
They found that Read more…
