The NO-NOs…
Seed oils
Canola (also called Rapeseed), Corn, Cottonseed, Rice Bran, Grapeseed, Soybean, Safflower, Sunflower Oils
Why?
They are industrially-processed, creating unstable and unhealthy compounds that cause metabolic dysfunction & higher potential for disease. (Your cells can’t process them nor remove them). Polyunsaturated fats. High omega-6. Inflammitory. Easily Oxidized.

Glyphosate
RoundUp. It could be coating the lettuce in your salad, the wheat of your bread, cake or cereal. It is most likely in your oats, in your milk, or the berries in your smoothie.
Why?
It is so bad for the environment, bees, butterflies & water sources. It is a carcinogen for the consumer… a cause for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, kidney & liver tissue damage. It is an endocrine disruptor, and a cause for neurological damage. It is a proven hormone disruptor and a destroyer of gut health. Any flour, grain or produce that has come into contact with RoundUp has glyphosate in it - a powerful herbicide that completely kills almost all plants and insects that it touches. It is so fatal that special Genetically-Modified crops have had to be developed. The seeds for those GMO plants have almost taken over the American planting industry, in order to produce a crop within the toxic soup of glyphosate.
Plastic Cutting Boards / Packaging
Cutting on stainless steel (especially for meats) and keeping all cutting boards clean with natural cleaners helps to keep toxic chemicals and plastics out of our systems.
Why?
The shards and slivers of tiny plastic all pile up! (Inside you). Microplastics clog the arteries and contribute to both heart disease as well as Alzheimer’s & Dimmentia.
Cleaning Chemicals (for serving ware)
Most dishwashing systems use chemicals - not hot water & cloth to clean the cuttlery and dishes you eat from. It is cheaper and saves labor for the employer, plus the “Health Department” requires it… that stated, there are systems that use organic vinegar and hot water sterilization as a healthy (expensive) alternative.
Why?
The spoon you lick shouldn’t have a residue of germ-killing chemicals. The plate that holds your steak should be truly clean - not disinfected with a highly toxic rinse.
Highly Processed Foods
Highly processed starches, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), snacks, junk & sugar
Why?
Our consumption of such foods contributes to a highly infammitory state and is one of the root causes of all disease.
