What it Means to Buy Organic Products
Organic products may not be a priority to some people, but there is one thing that cannot be disagreed upon. Fertilizers are not used with these products which is always a benefit when it comes to pollutants that enter our rivers, lakes and streams.
I came across this article today and wanted to share it with all of you. It was posted on Beauty Salon Glasgow in August of 2007 but it is just as true today as it was then. Their title of the article is “What Does it Mean if you Buy Organic Products” so I shortened it slightly. It’s a fairly long article, but very clear and informative. You might reallly enjoy reading it. Here is the link: http://beautysalonglasgow.com/anti-wrinkle/what-does-it-mean-if-you-buy-organic-products/

Safe Cosmetics Video
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, which was created by the Environmental Working Group, has just published a brand new video called “What’s Going on with Toxic Chemicals in Cosmetics?” It’s worth watching and sharing!
The video features Mia, the grassroots coordinator for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. If you can help out financially, THIS is a link for making a contribution to the Environmental Working Group. Or if you can devote a little time to support this grassroots effort, THIS is a link to actions you can take for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. We all need to help improve this horrible situation of toxins in our personal care products!

Organic is more nutritious
You may remember the report last month from Great Britain claiming that Organic food was no more nutritious than other foods. Most of us were pretty sure that was wrong. But it’s good to see in print a good authority disputing that observation.
The major points of The French Agency for Food Safety study are:
- Organic plant products contain more dry matter (more nutrient dense)
- Have higher levels of minerals
- Contain more anti-oxidants such as phenols and salicylic acid (known to protect against cancers, heart disease and many other health problems)
- Organic animal products contain more polyunsaturated fatty acids (protect against heart disease)
- Carbohydrate, protein and vitamin levels are insufficiently documented
- 94–100% of organic foods do not contain any pesticide residues
- Organic vegetables contain far less nitrates, about 50% less (high nitrate levels are linked to a range of health problems including diabetes and Alzheimer’s)
- Organic cereals contain similar levels of mycotoxins as conventional ones
You can read the the news article on this report at Foodmag.com.au with a commentary from Andre Leu, Chairman of the Organic Federation of Australia. Or you can access the full scientific report at http://swroc.cfans.umn.edu/organic/ASD_Lairon_2009.pdf
The positive characteristics of organic food also apply to personal care products made with USDA Certified Organic ingredients such our MiEssence products. Good news for all!
