One thing I came to realize on my shopping trip yesterday was how important it is to read the labels. This is something I know is imperative to my health, but sometimes I do get lazy about it. During these 30 days I absolutely must keep all my food chemical-free so I can really figure out what foods have a negative impact on me. A few examples that I found was olive oil that had corn oil in it. I found some kalamata olives that had an ingredients label half the size of the jar.
My biggest shocker was the shredded coconut. It had propylene glycol in it. Unless my dried coconut is in danger of freezing I see no reason why antifreeze needs to be added to it. I really don’t understand why dangerous chemicals need to be added to our food.
The only way to be safe is to know what is in your food. You have to read the label. I once heard that if a 8 year old can’t read the label then you probably don’t want to eat it. Be informed about you eat.
I know for me personally my health depends on reading the labels and knowing what each ingredient is. I am very chemical sensitive and it doesn't take much of the wrong one to trigger a major migraine or severe stomach discomfort. Know what it is that you're putting into your body. After all your health is way too important to not protect.
