Malleable Reality

Finally, the FDA admitted that chicken meat sold in the U.S. contains arsenic (a cancerous toxic chemical). They claim, however, that the meat is safe to eat.  Meanwhile, they continuously go after herbal and nutritional companies that promote health and often shut them down. They also do everything they can to scare people into thinking that Raw Milk is dangerous to drink (which is completely healthy for you and better for you than pasteurized milk, as long as the raw milk is handled well at the farm it comes from…more on this in a future post).

At this point, I’m more inclined to believe the opposite of whatever the FDA/government says about certain foods/products regarding health.   In many situations, the FDA has failed to tell the truth to the public, or has horrible standards for what is considered “safe” or “healthy”.

Great news!  Clorox (finally) actually lists all of the ingredients for each of their products, under various brand names.  It’s a part of them trying to be corporately responsible, and it’s a big step up for a company like Clorox.  By law, companies are not required to disclose the specifics when it comes to the ingredients list.  And no, labels are not regulated.  So, I must give a big “good job!” to Clorox for releasing their ingredients for each product.   You can check out all of the products and ingredients here:  http://www.cloroxcsr.com/ingredients-inside/ (that’s their official website)

However, if you take a look at their “Green Works” brand — it’s definitely not an ALL NATURAL cleaner.  Don’t let labels fool you!
