Study: Nearly all women with breast cancer have parabens in their breast tissue

 

They are added to everything from shampoos and deodorants to processed foods and pharmaceutical drugs in order to inexpensively extend shelf life and improve product stability.

Its not a love song...more like a 'you dirty dog, how could you do me so wrong' kinda song. There's also lyrics  so you can learn it and preach it. One of my favs is "How come this burger will never rot? - If another animal won't eat it, you should not!"

Enjoy and share :)

Sauna trip :)  Sweat out the toxins!

As I move towards the... Read More
