Reading Labels

There is way to much health info overload out there, but I'm going to tell you where I start.

Labels: If you can’t recognize the ingredients, your body can’t either.

Yes I’m calling out food labels with things like: 3-methylbut-1-y ethanoate, palmitoleic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-methylethyl, and phylloquinone…

But I’m also calling out clean products with ingredients like:

2-(2-butyoxyethoxy) ethanol, Ethylene glycol mono butyl ether, Diethylene glycol mono butyl ether, nonylphenol ethoxylates, octylphenol ethoxylates, nonoxynols and octoxynols

And also beauty products with ingredients like:

1,3-butadiene, Beta Hydroxybutanoic Acid, Trethocanic Acid, Methenamine and Quarternium-15, and Bronopol, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol

But I’m not quite done yet… look out for “supplements” with sneaky ingredients like: Titanium Dioxide and Magnesium Stearate

Make sure to read all of your labels! Just because something is marketed as healthy, doesn’t mean it actually is.

I used to love the small grocery chain, Earth Fare that promised anything they sold avoided, a bunch of bad stuff like artificial sweeteners, unfortunately they went out of business (I think a few popped back up but not near me, anyways.) If you're looking for my done for you list of things without all the toxic junk, that I actually use, Click here for the shop!

Hopefully that helps! Let me know if I can help you decipher labels!
