I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Natural Products Expo East this year in Boston. For those of you that weren’t, you can see a highlight of some of the products on Good Morning America. Surf Sweets and Yummy Earth were just a few of the products shown that are all natural and also allergy friendly. More articles are to come on some of the great products I got to try.
The September/October issue of Today’s Diet & Nutrition magazine announced a new section titled “special needs”. This section will address the dietary challenges and needs of those with diabetes, cancer, food allergies and more. The first “special needs” diet addressed in the magazine is food allergies. The article titled “Food Allergies: Hope From Down Under”, discusses the many challenges food allergy mom Suzanna Paxton and her family face. There are three allergy friendly recipes and a “Tips For Reading Food Labels” sidebar. Though most of the information in the article is accurate, there is one item (regarding manufacturer labeling) that I emailed the editor about. Overall I am thrilled that Today’s Diet & Nutrition magazine is recognizing the challenging diets of those with food allergies.
In an effort to use more natural products and to support eco-friendly companies, I’ve been using Dr. Bonner’s All In One liquid soap for quite some time as a body wash. What I love about Dr. Bronner’s is that it is made with minimal ingredients (mostly oils). Many of their ingredients are organic, and many products are fair trade. They do not test on animals. Another plus with the liquid soap is that it can be used for all of your household needs. The bottle and website list ways to dilute and use the soap from an everyday household cleaner to brushing your teeth. My skin was rarely dry throughout the winter and I found I did not need lotion as much as usual. However Dr. Bronner’s has extended their line to include new products including body lotion and a thicker body wash using many of the same ingredients. All of Dr. Bronner’s products including liquid and bar soap, hair rinse and cream, lip and body balm, as well as lotionts ans shaving gels can be found on their website: http://www.drbronner.com/index.html |

Your skin is an organ. Everything you put on it is absorbed. This should make you think twice about what products you use and what chemicals are in them.
