    WHY AVOID COCAMIDE DEA? Cocamide diethanolamine i WHY AVOID COCAMIDE DEA? Cocamide diethanolamine is an amber coloured liquid used as a foaming agent, emulsifier & viscosity controller in a range of body products such as bubble bath, shampoo, facial cleansers, liquid hand and body soap. Cocamide DEA is made from coconut oil and Diethanolamine (DEA) and it is the DEA which is a cause for concern. DEA can be present in its free un-reacted form as an impurity in Cocamide DEA solutions additionally it has the ability to form highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists cocamide DEA as a Group 2B carcinogen, which means they class it as a probable human carcinogen. In 2012 cocamide DEA was added to the California Proposition 65 (1986) list of chemicals known to cause cancer by The State of California and was subsequently banned from use in shampoos and other personal hygiene and beauty products. Nearly a decade later this chemical is still permitted in products sold in Australia, and kids products at that! Whilst the cancer risk associated with cocamide DEA is reason enough to avoid this chemical, other health concerns associated with this chemical are: 🛁 Skin Toxicant 🛁 Immune system toxicity 🛁Respiratory irritant 🛁Skin Irritant - may cause an allergic reaction, resulting in dermatitis We find it totally mind-boggling that a chemical classified as a 2B carcinogen is allowed to be added to products that are designed to come into contact with our skin. Skin is the largest organ in our body and readily absorbs chemicals applied to it. 💥26 seconds is all it takes for chemicals applied to the skin to enter the bloodstream and in 2 minutes it is in every cell in your body💥 Be aware of what you put on your skin!!

    WHY AVOID FLUORIDE Fluoride is the ionic form of WHY AVOID FLUORIDE Fluoride is the ionic form of fluorine, the thirteenth most abundant element in the earth's crust. Fluoride is in the environment naturally and is found in rocks and soils, salt and seawater. Water is the major dietary source of fluoride, other sources of fluoride are fluoridated toothpaste, seafood that contains edible bones or shells, supplements, and tea. Australia is one of many countries that have water fluoridation programs, with around 70% of the population drinking fluoridated water. The reasoning behind adding fluoride to water (or toothpastes) is for cavity prevention. The concern with this is the numerous potential side effects caused by flouride. In Australia 3 main chemicals are used to fluoridate water, sodium fluoride, hydrofluosilicic acid or hexafluorosilicic acid (an inexpensive liquid by-product of phosphate fertilizer manufacture!!!) and sodium silicofluoride. The amount of fluoride added to water varies but the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines allows a maximum level up to 1.5 parts per million So we have covered what chemicals are used, why and how much. Now let's cover some of the concerning aspects of fluoride on our health. Consumption of fluoride has been associated with or is suspected of: 🚰Reduced IQ in children - several studies show a link between high fluoride levels and a reduction in children's IQ 🚰Behavioural Changes 🚰 Bone Cancer and fractures 🚰 cardiovascular toxicity 🚰 respiratory toxicity 🚰 liver toxicity 🚰 musculoskeletal toxicity 🚰 developmental toxicity 🚰 Respiratory toxicity 🚰 neurotoxicity 😵 🚰Dental fluorosis - hypomineralization of tooth enamel caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation I avoid fluoride by using non-fluoride toothpaste and using a good quality water filter. Personally, I choose for my family to use safe natural methods of maintaining our dental health.
    WEDNESDAY LUNCHES Today is the last day for the w WEDNESDAY LUNCHES Today is the last day for the week I need to get 2 lunch boxes ready. We are running low on some the veggies we use to pop in the lunch boxes so poor kids just have carrots today. Alices lunch has some vegetable oil free rice crackers as I dont think she really likes the flavour of scroll we had left. I have found 2 brands so far of rice crackers that are oil free but you must get certain flavours. The eat rite crackers from woolies in tamari seaweed flavour and ceres organic in sea salt or black sesame flavour. Is anyone able to share any other brands or flavours of rice crackers without vegetable oil?? Hey we arent perfect but i like to make the choices where we can and rice crackers is a super easy one!! It all adds up.
