Well, Hellloooo!!! I am busy in the studio recording my first alternative rock record, rehearsing for my show at the Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville on Tuesday 6/22 at 9:15 PM and taking care of my patients and my Shiba Inu, Tre, and my rosebushes for that matter....How's your week going??? This weeks forum is about damgerous food additives, but before that I have a couple of items for you!
One: I should have a new natural products catalogue available by next week..and it's worth waiting for believe me....second...I have great personal products gifts for inhouse purchases this month, and lastly, I have finally tested and endorse a wonderful probiotic that does not require refrigeration for those of you wanting a product to take on vacation..it is relatively heat stable and available by special order..please allow 5 days.
I have replaced some old lines & products with better and more available products and sometimes less expensive ones as well so check me out!!! I am always available to you for product advice.
This week's topic is how to avoid the most dangerous food additives...I encourage all of you to eat minimally processed foods and go organic as much as you can...better for us...and the planet but I do recognize it is a commitment...
In reviewing this information I realized, (AGAIN) how dangerous these ingredients are...and while you may never experience health problems as a direct result..who really knows?? So here's my list of the most important additives to avoid in table form...please forward on to your friends and family!!!
